"THESE BONES WILL RISE TO LOVE YOU AGAIN", THE THIRD INSTALLMENT FROM EXPLOSIVE PUNK-BLUES INSURGENTS THE IMMORTAL LEE COUNTY KILLERS 3 (ILCK3), IS DUE FOR RELEASE ON SEPTEMBER 5TH VIA FUNHOUSE RECORDS.

TO COINCIDE WITH THE RELEASE OF THIS, THEIR THIRD FULL-LENGTH ALBUM, THE BAND WILL BE EMBARKING ON EXTENSIVE UK AND IRISH DATES AS WELL AS SUPPORTING MUDHONEY ON SEPTEMBER 16TH AT LONDON?S KOKO, PART OF THE WIDER ?DON?T LOOK BACK? SERIES OF SHOWS. IN-BETWEEN THEIR NEVER ENDING TRAVELS THE BAND HAVE RECORDED TWO FULL LENGTHS INTERNATIONALLY, A DOUBLE EP LOVE UNBOLTS THE DARK (SWEET NOTHING RECORDS), AND A BOX FULL OF COLLECTIBLE VINYL SINGLES. THE DEBUT FULL LENGTH?S DESCRIPTIVE TITLE THE ESSENTIAL FUCKED UP BLUES (SWEET NOTHING RECORDS) GRANTED A MOMENT OF CLARITY EXPLAINING THE BRISTLING, RELENTLESS SOUND OF THEIR STYLE OF BLUES. THE SECOND FULL-LENGTH, LOVE IS A CHARM OF POWERFUL TROUBLE (ESTRUS RECORDS), ALSO MADE A POWERFUL AND POIGNANT STATEMENT. REVELATION ALWAYS ACCOMPANIES LOVE. AND WITH ?LOVE....?, ILCKII REVEALED A MORE DYNAMIC SOUND-SCAPE, NEW DRUMMER J.R.R. TOKEN, AND THE ADDITION OF ?II? TO THE NAME. ILCK ALWAYS CHAMPIONS EVOLUTION AND REVELATION. IT IS NOT GIVEN TO HEAR SUCH SOUND AT ALL AND NONE TO HEAR IT MORE THAN ONCE IN HIS LIFE?WILLIAM FAULKNER. IN 2004, THE DUO NATURALLY TURNED TRIO BY ADDING NEW MEMBER JEFF GOODWIN. GOODWIN PLAYS THE FUZZED HAMMOND B3 ORGAN AND RHODES ELECTRIC PIANO VIA HIS WOOD-GRAIN MIDI-KEYBOARD. NO LONGER ONLY A PUNK BLUES BAND, ILCK EVOLVED INTO A NEW ANIMAL THAT GENRE SPECIFIC GEEK MUSICOLOGISTS (A.K.A.?SCENESTERS?) ARE CHALLENGED TO DEFINE.

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON'S LARS FINBERG IS UNSTOPPABLE AND RESPONSIBLE FOR SOME OF THE FINEST MUSIC BLASTING OUT OF THE UNDERGROUND AT THE MOMENT.

LARS STRUCTURES THE A-FRAMES? POST-APOCALYPTIC POP WORLD WHERE HE HANDLES DRUM DUTIES. THEN THERE?S THE DIABOLICAL DIPERS, WHERE HE THROWS DOWN THAT LO-FI NOISY RUMBLE OF BURNING TRASH AND CAR-WRECK ROCK WIPING THE BLOOD ALL OVER YOUR BLUE SUEDE SHOES, BUT HIS MAIN VEHICLE, THE INTELLIGENCE, COMBINES THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS IN A WONDERLAND OF SONIC HORIZONS, POPPY DANCE FIELD ROCK, AND IF YA HAVE TIME TO THINK, BRILLIANT LYRICS. INTELLIGENCE UTILIZE MELODIC ACOUSTIC GUITARS WITH WIRE-CUTTING ELECTRIC RIFFS, CRUSHED KEYBOARDS, JUMPING JACK FUN DRUMS AND SINGALONG VOCAL MELODIES. THE RECORDING SOUNDS LIKE THEY CRAWL INSIDE A BEAT-UP TRASHCAN TO BANG OUT THE HITS WHILE TUMBLING DOWN A GRANITE MOUNTAIN COVERED IN VOLCANIC ASH. THEIR DEBUT ALBUM, ?BOREDOM AND TERROR?, WAS FIRST RELEASED ON CD BY OMNIBUS RECORDS AND LATER ON VINYL BY NARNACK. IT FEATURED THIRTEEN PERFECTLY CRAFTED SONGS THAT WERE CREATED BY LARS ON HIS HOME RECORDING UNIT. ?ICKY BABY?, THEIR MUCH ANTICIPATED FOLLOW UP, WAS RECORDED WITH A FULL BAND ON SELECTED TRACKS MIXED IN WITH FINBERG?S USUAL DEMENTED HOME RECORDINGS. THE RESULT IS A MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE INTELLIGENCE THAN HEARD PREVIOUSLY, A SOUND MUCH CLOSER TO THE BAND?S LIVE PERFORMANCES THAN ON THEIR DEBUT ALBUM. BE PREPARED TO HAVE YOUR MIND BLOWN! THE A- FRAMES? RECENT ALBUM ON SUB POP RECEIVED SOME AMAZING REVIEWS ALL OVER THE UK MUSIC PRESS!

IN THE RED IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE DEBUT FULL LENGTH FROM MISS ALEX WHITE, RECORDED AT GHETTO RECORDERS WITH JIM DIAMOND.

BACKED BY THE RED ORCHESTRA (WES AND EDDY OF THE CLONE DEFECTS), THIS RAVEN HAIRED 19-YEAR-OLD BLAZES QUITE A TRAIL OVER THE TEN TRACKS INCLUDED HERE. MISS ALEX WHITE HAILS FROM THE BACKYARDS, GUTTERS AND SMOKE-FILLED HIDEOUTS OF CHICAGO. THE FORMULA FOR HER MUSIC IS SIMPLE ENOUGH - TWO GUITARS, A DRUMMER, AND A VOICE. THE SONGS HAVE FAMILIAR ROOTS: SPINNING AROUND THE LIVING ROOM TO THE WHO AS A KID, DRIVING DOWN I-90 BLASTING THE MODERN LOVERS, DANCING TO IKE AND TINA INSTEAD OF STUDYING, WAKING UP TO ?1969? EVERY DAY FOR A MONTH. AT THE SAME TIME, HER MUSIC IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF ELEMENTS OF WHAT HAS COME BEFORE USED TO CREATE SOMETHING RAW, UNIQUE, AND INTRIGUING. YOU GET TWO-, MAYBE THREE-CHORD NUMBERS THAT SHIMMY AND SKID OVER PUNK AND BLUES WITH A DOSE OF BROKEN SOUL. A SOUND THAT?S ALTOGETHER LOVELY AND TERRIFYING. BUT ALEX?S VOICE IS WHAT MAKES THIS BAND WORTH THE TIME. RISING UP OUT OF A WHIRLWIND LIFETIME FULL OF SCRAPED KNEES, BATTERED HEARTS, AND SWEET REVENGE, ALEX HAS A DIRTY BOMB LODGED WHERE HER VOICE BOX IS SUPPOSED TO BE. SHE?LL MAKE YOU WANNA CRY, FIGHT, AND DANCE AND SHE?LL NEVER REVEAL JUST HOW SHE DOES IT. GET ON YOUR FEET, LISTEN UP, LET YOUR JAW DROP, LET YOUR HIPS SHAKE - MAYBE YOU?LL BE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET IT.
