Asylums will help push three new bands on their Cool Thing Records label via the brand new Alternative Occupations single.
The band’s first offering since Killer Brain Waves was written and recorded during the summer, and is to lead tracks by Petty Phase, The Horse Heads and Bait on limited 12” white vinyl.
Escapism was one of the main themes of the Killer Brain Waves debut which Live4ever found to be irresistible, our review declaring how they ‘want an escape and they want it NOW’:
“The album is not all anger, spittle and alienation though. Killer Brain Waves is also chock-full of tongue-in-cheek moments – Asylums are certainly not a band who take themselves too seriously.”
“The song titles alone; ‘Wet Dream Fanzine’, ‘Monosyllabic Saliva’, tell us as much. But, it’s when the band get angry and rail against modern-day society and its negatives that they really hit full-stride.”
Alternative Occupations tracklist:
Asylums – Alternative Occupations
Petty Phase – You’ll Be Dead
The Horse Heads – Castles
Bait – I’m Still Here
