SUICIDE GENERATION: London Trash Mercenaries Throw Release Bash for Second Album, "Last Suicide" at Dirty Water Club with Bad Mojos and Desperate Fun
Ever since Suicide Generation exploded in London like a dirty bomb blast 18 months ago, they have morphed into various incarnations to quickly become an eagerly devoured proposition in the capital’s hi-energy rock 'n' roll scene with their chaotic and explosive shows; their attack and intent as unpredictable as their sound.
After signing a two-album deal with Dirty Water Records, and off the back of critical acclaim from the international music press, the band would then notch up two European tours and release a split single with LA’s Black Mambas , elevating their status as young, fast-rising upstarts on everyone's radar.
After various line-up changes around the core songwriting partnership of lead singer Sebastian Melmoth and guitarist Vince Suicide the band re-enlisted their first drummer and took to the studio to begin recording their long-awaited sophomore follow up with notorious knob twiddler, Patrice Picard (The Cannibals).
Deploying the finest vintage analog gear, Patrice and the boys bashed out eleven gloriously filthy lo-fi tracks action-packed with high-powered rock 'n' roll numbers like "Rotten Mind" and the hotter and heavier rave-up "You Gonna Burn" with layers of dirt and grime after three days of recording of mixing. The tapes were then handed over to world-famous wizard producer Jim Diamond, who shined them up like a pair of spike-heeled leather boots.
These newly reborn punk rock saboteurs will be hitting the road in support of their latest release in Europe and the US over the next six months. "Last Suicide" is a collection of songs soaked in brashness and swagger turning on ears and an ever keen appetite for unpolished rock ‘n’ roll. Today's Suicide Generation is here and openly ready to slash up your world
What kind of noise like this comes from such a picturesque, wholesome town like Thun? The noise of three men escaping Thun's sterility!
Formed in 2015 via SMS, these Swiss men cut their way through European audiences on the regular all while releasing their early material on Kink Records (DE) and No Front Teeth (UK). When word of their ski mask theatrics and brash sound caught wind to Voodoo Rhythm, Reverend Beat-Man whisked them to the Toulouse based chambers of Swampland Studios to record what you're now reading about. Lo-Spider is a Jedi Master! The current unhinged punk rock movement in Switzerland grows further with the chainsaw-on-metal sounding Bad Mojos partnering with Voodoo Rhythm Records for the release of their first album, I Hope You OD. This is three-chord punk rock and with absolutely stupid lyrics and a drummer who can barely sit still on his throne. lo-fi punk rock that your parents and neighbors are sure to hate!
Desperate Fün was formed in early 2017 and after a long period of silence, they roared back into the rehearsal room in 2018. Their main inspiration is '77 Punk, “Killed By Death” style.
The band has been influenced by American, European and Australian "Minor Punk" bands, while always maintaining their originality and personality.
AND THE AFTER PARTY DJ'S FOR THE NIGHT WILL BE:
OUR FAV FRENCH FREAK : Thibault Sonet AND OUR QUEEN BITCH Rebecca Eigirdas-Allan
PUNK,GLAM,GARAGE,HEAVY ROCK ETC ETC.
