Malibu Shark Attack - Better Off As Friends (Feat., The Dudley Corporation)
Release Date : Digital Single March 17th 2014
Label : No Dancing Records

"I hate it when my favourite bands go on indefinite hiatus and later announce a new side project. They may be done, what if I'm not yet?" 
These are the opening lines of Better Off As Friends, the opening track from Trans-Atlantic duo Malibu Shark Attack's debut album. 
It's the air-clearing explanation of their enthusiasm for a new musical outlet following the end of their previous acts. 
A sympathetic counselling session for anyone that's felt the pain of their favourite artist calling it a day. 
They've called on Irish indie-rockers The Dudley Corporation to lend vocals to the track, telling the band's side of the story. 
The video shares the turmoil and heartache in the loss of some of the band's most-loved groups. From The Undertones and Sleater-Kinney to The Streets and ABBA. 
They want you to remember one thing. No matter what happens, you'll always have the albums. 
As long as you don't smash them up. 

Malibu Shark Attack are Rocky O’Reilly from Belfast, N.Ireland and Tribe One, from Atlanta, GA; He's the reflective, insightful and witty Wordsmith rapping atop "post-new wave-prog-electronic-indiecore-synthpop" tunes made by Rocky. 

O'Reilly is formerly of Irish indie-pop group Oppenheimer. 
 
It follows previous single "Doing It Wrong" released in late 2013 and this precedes the self-titled album due in May this year.

Malibu Shark Attack - Better Off As Friends (Feat., The Dudley Corporation

The So-So Sailors are five sun-burnt stowaways left adrift upon the high seas. Eagerly awaiting land, they dream of a pristine beach where they can sip coconut milk and shoot pistols without fear of criminal prosecution or possible complaints by the neighbors. Nah, screw that (the coconut part anyway)! It's just Chris Machmuller, Dan McCarthy, Alex McManus, Brendan Walsh and Dan Kemp.

Though a clear departure from the individual members previous projects, citing a clear appreciation for 60's - 70's Lounge and R&B esthetics, The So-So Sailors are comfortably out of their element. Setting the wheel to a barely visible point on the horizon, and plotting a course for misadventure, the Sailors find that the farther out to sea they travel, the more it feels like home.
