Cruel To Be Kind

Taken from Omi Palone's S/T debut LP co-released by Faux Discx and Negative Space on 14th April 2014, available on vinyl LP (limited to 300) and digital download.

PRE-ORDER NOW:
Via Faux Discx: https://fauxdiscx.bandcamp.com/album/omi-palone
Via Negative Space: http://negativespacemusic.bigcartel.com/product/omi-palone-omi-palone-12

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Following their long sold-out self-released cassette of 2011 and two split 7”’s in 2012, Omi Palone will release their debut self-titled long-player as a joint release between Faux Discx and new label Negative Space. 

The 8-track record is a frenetic fuzz-tinged pop headrush of barely-restrained punk outbursts. Singer-guitarist Philip Serfaty's deep and sleepy baritone reverberates over urgent, rushing chord progressions and incisive rhythmic precision.  Frantic jangling guitar hooks fall away to one-chord motorik chug, hypnotic drone and looming fuzz, giving the tracks a hounded, runaway feel.

Finding strength in brevity, the band explores and experiments with what can be expressed in a 3 minute post-punk song; controlled, complex melodies interweaving in amongst simple (but not simplistic) repetitive structures, interrupted only by stomping middle-eights. Artistic allegiances nod towards an Antipodean influence: the output of 80s New Zealand labels such as Flying Nun & Xpressway, as well as the current Australian punk scene.

That Girl (Extended Mix)

[Intro]
Hmmmmmm
Hmmmmmm
Hmmmmmm
Hmmmmmm

[Verse]
Solo in the morning it’s alright
You can do whatever you feel like
Living in the middle of nowhere
I’m a ten at home but no one cares
Time to let my hair down, hair down, hair down
Time to let my hair down, hair down, hair down
And I can hear a distant Nordic voice
Saying come inside the sauna’s ready for you
Hear a distant Nordic voice
Saying come inside the sauna’s ready for you

Wish It Was You

“White Noise” is the final track from Shopping — a lean, tense post-punk cut with sharp guitars, locked-in bass, and urgent vocals. Recorded before our hiatus and left unreleased until now, it's both a snapshot and a send-off. Think dancefloor paranoia, controlled chaos, and one last release of energy.

For a band built around the idea of slacker syntax, Bad Grammar rock a tight set. Following in the footsteps of their northern pioneers before them, Bad Grammar channel the same grunge snarls as Pulled Apart By Horses and Drenge.

Debut EP ‘Forced Fun’ fell into the hands of party punk king Andrew WK, who selected the band to perform as part of 2014’s Y Not Festival. With lead single ‘Temper Temper’ clocking over 25,000 Vevo views, it’s not surprising the pair have already picked up coverage from XFM, 6Music and Radio 1, along with recent new music features in NME, Clash and Artrocker. 

Kicking out witty commentary on metabolism breakdowns and pop culture 101, Bad Grammar are top of the class.

“A blend of grunge and punk reminiscent of Fugazi and Shellac that puts many of the current wave of musical duos to shame" - The Ruckus

"Guaranteed to get the music-bods talking with their gloriously grimy racket" - The Tipping Point
