The Cure?

The Vaccines
From: London, United Kingdom

Not to be confused with their US (the Vaccines) or Japanese (the Vaccines) cousins Brit rock 'n rollers The Vaccines have the cure for the bubblegum infection that has swept the UK over the summer months. The band include at least one semi famous nu folkie (Justin James Hayward-Young aka Jay Jay Pistolet) and a relative of one of the best band's to emerge from London over the past five years (the little brother of The Horrors' bass player Tom). Given such an illustrious indie heritage it's hardly surprising that their demos already sound fully formed and ready to make their own way in the world.

The pick of the bunch is 'If You Wanna', a simmering, searing throwback of a track which sounds like Eddie Cochran dry humping The Ramones. It's simply rad.

Suicide Is Painless

Austin's finest indie label Killredrocket Records have just released Decadence a globe trotting album featuring five noisy bands from all over the world that'll shake you out of this boring, mundane existence into a more surreal and dangerous place. A place where living on the edge is the new staying in. As you might expect the Devil is quite partial to the odd bit of decadence every now and therefore over the next few nights the Devil will feature bands from the album.

If you like what you hear then you can download the whole album for free from the Killedredrocket Records Bandcamp site for the perfect soundtrack for the next time you are doing something that you know you probably shouldn't.

First up are UK's self proclaimed 'death surf' band Suicide Party

Suicide Party

From: The South, United Kingdom

With a name like Suicide Party and a frontman who calls himself Screamin Joey Outlaw you can hazard a guess that they aren't going to be appearing on the Royal Variety Show anytime soon.

The five reprobrates who make up Suicide Party stir up a maelstrom of psycho goth garage surf punk that sounds like a distant echo from the Batcave (a nightclub in London, considered to be the birthplace of the English goth subculture). It's snarling, dark, raw and raucous an unheard soundtrack to a macabre b-movie starring the Birthday Party, The Cramps, The Horrors and an inverse Beach Boys.

They're coming up so you better get the party started.
