Fleckt Pets Release 'War Cry' EP

Tuesday, February 16, 2016 - PUNX.UK

Fleckt Pets release the 7-track EP 'War Cry' on DIY label Moon Skull Records Friday 26 February, with the title track's music video available now here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQyDFAF1sC0&feature=youtu.be

Fenders and fuzz dominate this dark but hooky record with trashy riffs hinting at funk, soul, garage and a smudge of country rock all harnessed by basic punk rock values and a have-fun-or-don't-bother mentality.

Politics and personal stories merge on this record as frontman Tom Barber spits, snarls and screams brutal honesty, dragging you into his troubled world of booze, violence and frustration.

The front cover of the album features the warmonger Tony Blair with Fleckt Pets bassist Calum Piercy as a child. This is a real photograph taken in Calum's hometown (and Tony Blair's former constituency) Sedgefield.

Fleckt Pets are best experienced live, so the music for the 7-track War Cry EP was recorded live in a single room by David Curle at First Avenue Studios in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, with vocals added afterwards.
