SYNTH-LED GARAGE PUNK ATTACK WILL SATISFY FANS OF IN THE RED ARTISTS SUCH AS THE BLACK LIPS, THE LOST SOUNDS, AND JAY REATARD. EX-MEMBERS OF THE NO TALENTS / SPLASH FOUR. THIS IS KILLER SYNTH DRIVEN PUNK DANCE MUSIC. DISCO MEETS THE GROTTY GARAGE CLUB..HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

LILI SAYS, ?OUR MUSIC IS FULL OF HOLES AND BLACK/WHITE CONTRASTS.WAR BETWEEN INSTRUMENTS? GUITAR LURKING, THEN CRASHING DOWN ON SYNTHESIZER WHILE GIRL AND BOY FRENCH KISS AND FLIRT.? TODD SAYS, ?JACK, LILI, AND FX GO DEEPER INTO THE DARK CORNERS OF YOUR BRAIN WHERE DISCO DANCING AND OBTUSE PUNK NOISE COLLIDE WITH SMEARED LIPSTICK AND FRENCH-FRIED BONERS. UNSETTLING ELECTRO RHYTHMS UNDER SUBTLE VOCAL TRANSMISSIONS TURN YOUR STOMACH AND PRY THEIR WAY INTO YOUR HEART WITH THE SCATHING, YET MELODIC, SIMPLICITY THAT HAS TO BE HEARD TO BE BELIEVED.? JAY SAYS, ?WIDE-GROOVED AND SATISFYING DARKWAVE FROM LILI Z. AND JACK A, FAMOUS FRENCH GARAGE PUNK LOVEBIRDS AND FORMER RESPECTIVE MEMBERS OF THE NO- TALENTS AND SPLASH FOUR, AND THEIR SECRET WEAPON ?FX? ON SYNTHESIZER AND THEREMIN. EQUALLY AT HOME IN THE PARIS DANCE NIGHTCLUB AS IN THE DANK BASEMENT PUNK BAR, WITH A SYNTH-LED ELECTRIC CHARGE THAT?S AS OFTEN ANGRY AND AGGRESSIVE AS IT IS WHIMSICAL AND FUN. THE LOUD ATTACK JUST SCREAMS OFF THE VINYL.?

FORGED IN THE GARDEN CITY (THAT'S MISSOULA, MONTANA TO YOU, PIKER), EX-COCAINE IS THE FORMIDABLE, SNEER-WIELDING DUO OF BRYAN RAMIREZ (GUITARS, EFFECTS, VOCALS) AND MIKE C (PERCUSSION, HEXES, SPELLS). THEIR DEBUT LP FROM 2005, KEEP AMERICA MELLOW (ON RAMIREZ'S KILLERTREE LABEL) BROUGHT TO LIGHT HEAVY AUGUST VIBES STEEPED IN THE TIPPLED, WOODBINE 'N' CIDER ELECTRO- FOLK OF MICHAEL CHAPMAN, STEVE PEREGRINE TOOK, ROY HARPER, AND OTHER MORE RECLUSIVE ANGLO BISCUIT-SNUFFERS WHOSE WORKS HAUNT THE ARCHIVES OF KISSING SPELL AND SHADOKS. ON THEIR SECOND EFFORT, EX-COCAINE THROW DOWN HARD, EVOKING A GNARLED BONFIRE WITH FLAMES THAT ROAR THUNDEROUSLY LIKE THE DETUNED, ROCKIST CLANG OF DEAD C'S HARSH '70S REALITY, AND BURNS EVENLY LIKE THE SMELTED, RUST BELT PSYCHEDELIA OF STONE HARBOUR'S EMERGES. VINYL-ONLY AND LIMITED, THE SPARKS ARE FLYING OFF THIS ONE ALREADY. CATCH IT IF YOU CAN
