Bad For Lazarus Announce Debut Single Release Date

English rockers Bad for Lazarus have announced that their debut single ‘My Muddle’ will see a release on November 7th.

Nothing short of a supergroup, BFL casually boast ex-members of Nine Inch Nails, The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster and UNKLE. Armed with these credentials, the boys – frontman Rich Fownes; bassist/guitarist/vox Dominic Knight; guitarist/vox Richie Correia; drummer Ross Crick; and keys/guitarist/other noises Liam Dowling – cook up an alchemical audio storm, merging genres from the classic sound of Motown artists through to the gooey phlegm of punk. In their own words; “We like Motown and we like Richard Hell. So we sound like Motown Hell.”

November 7th heralds the release of the band’s debut single, ‘My Muddle’, rounding off a season of festival appearances among a sizeable register of regular - (well, kind of) – gigs. Front man Fownes says of the single, “The song was written musically to be a pretty perfect slice of the different genres we like to embrace. Big beat drums. Motown/soul vocals. Dark rock guitars. Lyrically we always write about what's around us but our usual stipulation is that it must have a sense of humour. I abhor self-loathing and introspection in the lyrics of heavy music. Get over yourself, how much more subject matter exists outside of the petty indulgence of your average,commercially-approved ‘difficult emotions’.”

Be warned, though - the single’s a standalone teaser, set for staking out the band’s place in otherwise unchartered territory ahead of the launch of their album ‘Life’s a Carnival, Bang, Bang, Bang’. Featuring guest vocals from Leila Moss of The Duke Spirit and produced by Toydrum and mixed by Kosheen, ‘Life’s A Carnival…’ isn’t far off musical arson. So cover up your smoke alarms and prepare; inhalation could cause irreversible addiction.
