Praise fro neo:

“It’s grimy and tormented all right, but intent on subverting the many adolescent cliches and connotations that come with grunge.” The Guardian

“Maddeningly loud, loosely formed, disgusting like a romantic weekend trip down the local sewers.” DIY

“Snotty, snarling and belligerent.” Uncut

“It’s early in the year to make this sort of claim, but we can say with confidence that in ten months’ time you’ll be looking back on neo as one of 2016’s best debuts, by some distance.” The Skinny

“…A raucous, inspiring noise, the buzzsaw melody is matched to wailing feedback – imagine Bikini Kill set against early Mary Chain and you’d probably be in the same ballpark.” Clash

“…making a name for themselves with a sneery, warped, post-apocalyptic punk sound and wild stage show.” Brooklyn Vegan

“…buzzing with nausea and excitement. [rot in hell] burns with the urgency of the music you need to make or you’ll crumple, music you’d be making whether other people heard it or not.” Impose

“So Pitted are poised to start a riot that’s very much their own.” Record Collector

The Dandy Warhols announce new album Distortland

THEDANDYWARHOLS-DISTORTLAND-ALBUM-COVER

The Dandy Warhols are excited to announce the upcoming release of a new album, Distortland that will be released on Dine Alone Records on April 8th, the band’s first for the label.

Distortland was first recorded in Courtney Taylor’s basement on an 80s cassette recorder with the band putting on the finishing touches in the studio. Jim Lowe, best known for his work with Taylor Swift and Beyonce, mixed the album. Courtney notes that the end result is an album that is “organised like a pop record but still has the sonic garbage in there.”

Hear album track “You Are Killing Me” – their first taste of new music since 2012’s This Machine.

Formed in Portland, Oregon, The Dandy Warhols consist of members Courtney Taylor (vocals, guitar), Zia McCabe (keyboards), Peter Holmstrom (guitar), and Brent DeBoer (drums).

Pre-order Distortland from their webstore and iTunes.

4 – Catcher In The Rye
