Biters - Electric Blood

[Stefan]

From www.biters.band:

Atlanta rock 'n' rollers BITERS have signed a worldwide deal with Earache Records.

Recalling the early spirit and danger of rabble-rousing rock heroes, BITERS have faithfully built upon their punk heritage and their love of '70s rock to deliver music that ignites, incites and excites in equal measure.

Possessing a heart full of rock 'n' roll, the band plays foot-stomping, fist-pumping, spit-on-the-floor anthems possessed of a fighting spirit that refuses to give in.

Band leader Tuk explains the band's outlook: "Corporate pop culture and fairweather fads is just something I'm not interested in. I still choose to play rock ‘n' roll, because I still believe in rock 'n' roll."

Earache's Dan Tobin comments: "BITERS have lit a fire under us here at Earache. Their brand of rock forces you to take part — it's so immediate, accessible and exciting that the label had to get involved. Most of all, it's completely believable — it makes you want to fight for this kind of music to be heard. There is a gang mentality with BITERS that is very strong, and we are thrilled to join forces with them."

An aura of recklessness and intimidation surrounds the BITERS mythology. Yet amongst all of the raw riffage, teethmarks and broken glass, the band serve up instant hooks and shout-a-long choruses. This ear for melody has not been lost on others — the likes of GREEN DAY have proclaimed BITERS among their favourite new bands.

BITERS' debut album for Earache, "Electric Blood", will be released on July 10. A single, "Restless Hearts", will precede the album and can be heard below.

I thought these guys had called it quits after releasing EP after EP. Good to see them coming back with a full length

Yeah, it's nice that they're finally about to have a full album after years of EPs. I really did the album cover!

How bad is it? What is your favorite EP of theirs or favorite songs?

[Geoff]

Sounds okay but a bit 70's-ish. Not sure I'd go out of my way to check 'em out.

Pushed back to August now (end of July in the US)

At times their songs seem a bit too simple to me, but they are cool anyway. They remind me of a British band called Tokyo Dragons both in their looks and in their music. Hope they have better luck.

Ah, yes, Tokyo Dragons! I dug those guys. It's hard to believe that they've been gone for about 10 years already. It seems like just a few years ago when I was excited by them as a new band.

^{Love the name, the look and sound. I'll likely pick this one up. What I don't like is the cover. I think they would have been better served using the band shot from heart fulla rock n roll. Just me though.}

[Dead Planet]

Not bad at all...may have to pick this up....

[kethdredd]

Probably my album of the year. So damn catchy. Hooks galore.
