Details

Isolated by their exquisite taste, Night Marchers exude a barbarous neglect of current trends. They resemble a group of dapper, elderly Tarzans or well-groomed, unfrozen cavemen detached from today's nightclub society; their actions are just as confusing and alien to us as we to them. This must be taken into account when listening to the band's unconventional wail or observing them rub their long dicks on doorknobs. Allez Allez is frantic protest rock 'n' roll against being unfrozen, against being lured from the jungle by poontang on a string. They know they can never go back so they relinquish to the insulation of manic shredding and good times. Night Marchers consist of three quarters of Hot Snakes-John Reis (Rocket From the Crypt, Drive Like Jehu, Sultans), Gar Wood (Beehive and the Barracudas, Tanner) and Jason Sinclair (Delta 72, Mule, Bardo Pond)-accompanied by Thomas Kitsos (previously of Montreal rock 'n' roll destructionists CPC Gangbangs). They sound remotely like the combination of the aforementioned acts. This is their second record. ? Sophomore album from ex-members of Hot Snakes, Rocket From the Crypt, Drive Like Jehu, Delta 72, Bardo Pond, etc. ? Artwork by the legendary secret master of punk John Morton (Electric Eels, X_X) ? Vinyl comes with digital download coupon: Vinyl non-returnable.

VIRALS - 'STRANGE FRUIT'

Formats

• ZM014 - 7"

Details

After two widely acclaimed EPs on Sexbeat and Tough Love Records, Shaun Hencher's Virals pick up where those releases left off. Recorded last summer with Hencher and his live guitarist, Strange Fruit channels old-fashioned Tom Petty / Badfinger-esque muscle-rock coupled with the power of classic '90s bands like Sugar. Kicking off with title track's wide-eyed optimism, Strange Fruit hits high gear from the first chorus and stays there, chocked to the brim with soaring melodies, loud guitars and sugar-sweet vocals. Lead single "Summer Girls" is a lush, summer-defining Shop Assistants-style jam with the volume up. Hencher, former vocalist for Lovvers, began Virals as a solo studio project back in 2011. After assembling a live band, he spent the majority of 2012 playing shows at home in the UK and throughout Europe. The group is currently about to embark on a tour with Birmingham, England, band Peace. ? Latest EP from UK band fronted by former Lovvers vocalist Shaun Hencher ? Channels old-fashioned Tom Petty / Badfinger-esque muscle-rock coupled with the power of classic '90s bands like Sugar
