CHRIS DEVOTION & THE EXPECTATIONS
"DON'T YOU CALL ONE ME" 
FREE DOWNLOAD SINGLE

Armellodie Records is proud to present the new single from Glasgow’s finest brawny rockers, Chris Devotion & The Expectations.

‘Don’t You Call On Me’ is released as a FREE DOWNLOAD and is the first single to be taken from their eagerly anticipated second album, Break Out, due in June 2014 and available to order on CD from http://chrisdevotion.bandcamp.com/album/break-out.

If you’re new to the band Chris Devotion’s story is as wired as his music and there’s a strong sense that there’s no such thing as glory for this man unless it is by the most riff-slaying of means.

Based in Glasgow, Scotland, Devotion cut his teeth executing riotous performances in such glamorous locations as a disused nunnery and a fetish club, garnering ringing endorsements from rock and roll peers - John Reiss of Rocket From The Crypt fame and Titus Andronicus have openly declared their admiration - along the way.

At the turn of the decade Devotion employed the illustrious expertise of The Expectations, a trio of suited-and-booted thrashers, to bolster the foundations of Devotion’s own high octane rock and roll template.

Since the release of their rapid-fire debut in 2012, Amalgamation & Capital, the band have taken to the road with such indie-rock pin-ups as Quasi, Social Distortion, Ultrasound and Hookworms as well as having brought their brand of no nonsense power-chord prowess to festivals up and down the country.

Produced by Andy Miller (Mogwai, Life Without Buildings, Arab Strap), ‘Don’t You Call On Me’ wholly captures the showmanship and melodic charm that made the 4-piece so alluring in the first place. Devotion’s burly croon ruminating on love, jealousy and betrayal.

“I wanted to write a song about someone realising they are being used, consciously or not, by someone. Also I realised loads of my favourite bands have songs that say 'you can call on me' so I thought it would be amusing to have a song about someone saying the exact opposite of that” says Devotion.

Clocking in at under two and a half minutes ‘Don’t You Call On Me’ is an effortless listen. Please God, please Allah, please Ricardo Montalban, stand aside and let these men swagger.

Armellodie is a tiny wee independent label, stable, collective, R.O.C.K consortium, based in but not exclusive to Glasgow, Scotland.

To describe it neopolitan style, it's a chocolate slab of leftfield rock, a strawberry layer of ice-cold indie and a vanilla scoop of the avant garde. 

Armellodie’s position is missionary, we always finish on top. Only the finest chops musically, lyrically and egotistically will satisfy Armellodie’s strict A+R policy. 

Success doesn’t drive us; we thrive on our underdog status.
