Morphius Distribution is proud to announce our recent signing of Brooklyn/D.C. quartet Deleted Scenes! Their debut LP, Birdseed Shirt, has garnered rave reviews from both NPR and Spin.com, and Pitchfork called the record "brave and ferocious." Don’t miss them on tour in the U.S. throughout ‘09.
Formed by vocalist/guitarist Jack Flash and vocalist/bassist Gretta Fine in late 2002, Chicago band Bang! Bang! have stood the test of time and maintained their status as one of the City’s best live rock bands. With four studio releases under their belts, the band has endured line up changes, extensive touring and changes to the music industry itself. Since the last record, The Dirt That Makes You Drown, B!B! toured extensively and promoted themselves through the U.S. and Mexico. And , while the band certainly loves what they do, there are certain frustrations that any band will experience when together for a long enough time. They’ve brought all of those frustrations to the table for their fifth release: The Industry EP.
With added weight and nuance once again provided by
powerhouse drummer Nick Kraska, The Industry EP spits
back with a heavier, sludgy vibe, the sum total of
which amounts to an utter reinvention of their signature
sound. “Sleep In Thunder” sets the
mood for the album with Jack and Gretta’s tour
ramble, vocally stacking a dream-like curtain that
weighs throughout most of the EP. That is until Gretta
rips the curtain off while doing her part in unleashing
raw emotion on the theatrical “New Hi”,
her attack like a carnival barker selling the snake
oil of the record industry. But despite the changes
to Bang! Bang!‘s canvas, the EP is certainly
not without it’s hooks. “Hot Noize” is
a catchy "hard pop" song that dissects the
mentality of a new band looking for that elusive hit. And
the EP’s closing track “Don’t Think,
Just Feel” ends the journey on an upbeat reminder
that over thinking can be a nemesis too.
In conjunction with the new EP, Morphius Records is also releasing a 4-CD Box set, dubbed The Industry Box. This limited edition package combines the bands previous three releases (Electric Sex, Decked Out and The Dirt That Makes You Drown) along with the new EP and a slew of previously unreleased bonus tracks and remixes, including the Spank Rock remix of “Something More”, produced by XXXchange
Both the EP and the Box Set are being released worldwide on September 23rd, but are available for pre-order online from morphius.com (shipping the first week of August). Bang! Bang! host a release party for the album on August 23rd in Chicago at Empty Bottle, and hits the road again in October of 2008 for another U.S tour.
