Ghost Twins - Yellow & Green

As well as music, Tears also makes art & installation pieces for exhibitions. Her work has been described as "Beautifully Vulgar". This controversial edge makes Tears for Annie not simply a band, but a whole artistic expression.

‘Purple Heart’ represents the project’s first body of music, produced and Art directed by Tears, accompanied by a range of visuals, still and videos, which stretches perceptions via the bizarre and the haunting. Within this hazardous domain, there is warmth in the songwriting and dark humour in the imagery which will be revealed in a series of releases shedding light on Tear’s distinctive vision. 

Tears For Annie remains impossible to pigeon hole and whether you think it owes its idiosyncratic nature to Siouxsie or Kate Bush, this drip fed introduction to this artist will perhaps succeed in keeping you surprised. 

Please find enclosed promo of the EP, and email me at kim@supercatpr.co.uk if you would like the full imagery or anything else sent over.


Tears For Annie - You and Whose Army

The Fly - “Indubitably awesome”

Rock Sound - "This Liverpool four-piece could turn some heads in 2013"

Musical Mathematic – “It’s almost inevitable that Vasco Da Gama are going to be a big deal. Watch out for them in your town soon!” 

One local blog quipped that if “instruments could smile, the guitars of Vasco Da Gama would have grins as wide as the Mersey.” The four piece band’s angular melody driven math-pop has been wonderfully captured by Dom James (Johnny Foreigner, Calories) in brand new EP, Geography. By their own admission, this EP is slightly more considered than their previous release Hawk Moth, but both combine pop melodrama with avant-garde experimental guitar music that translates into another master class of art-rock. 
"This record feels more thought-out as a group of songs in comparison to our first EP, which was basically a document of our first year as a band.

The title 'Geography' is what we thought best tied together what are some pretty disparate lyrical themes, including being a long way away from someone you love, wondering what would happen if the next Ice Age came tomorrow, and imagining yourself as a woodboring beetle embedded in a table. – VDG

Alongside their obvious ear for a catchy tune, there are nods to the off-kilter time signatures and experimental rhythms of local heroes Hot Club De Paris, the hulking crescendocore of Explosions In The Sky, and the musical versatility and competence of The Mars Volta. 

Musically it feels very much a collaboration between four people. We allowed a bit more space for vocal parts to come to the fore, but we think it's still got enough layers and mad changes to bear repeated listens." – VDG

Their compelling and accomplished live shows have so far won them support slots with Los Campesinos!, Tall Ships, Tera Melos, Adebisi Shank, This Town Needs Guns and Errors, as well as a prestigious slot on the Big Scary Monsters showcase at this year’s Liverpool Sound City Festival. Couple this with radio plays and support from Tom Robinson at BBC6 Music, Dave Monks at BBC Merseyside and the bastion of all things new and exciting that is Amazing Radio, it’s starting to look like the band might follow in the footsteps of their namesake and embark on an very exciting journey.

Vasco Da Gama - BRIGADIERS

Killing Fields of Ontario – Twisted Little Theatre 

ROOM THIRTEEN
“Without doubt top draw”

SHOUT 4 MUSIC
"An anthemic, sing-along delight. Perfect guitar pop”

IT’S ALL HAPPENING
 “Riotous, frenetic… more of an indie rock band with strings, than a folk band turned up loud”

Killing Fields of Ontario have the rare talent for turning the unspoken fears and realities of life into a fluid musical product. Combining stabs of melancholy with dark spasms of madness, their new album ‘How the World Ends’ is at times elevating in its honesty and beauty, and at others wholly scornful of emotive truths. Wonderfully diverse, elements of guitar pop and alt-folk are hardened by a wizened grit that spits and attacks, as showcased in the attached free download, ‘Twisted Little Theatre’.

"TLT focuses on a destructive relationship - one character being the puppet master, the other a spectator. Ultimately it's a tale of disaster; the friendship is chaotic and unstable, leaving the spectator yelping: "It's not happening again."  ¬- Killing Fields of Ontario
 
Their album to be released in the summer has moments that are similar to the introverted storytelling tenderness of Villagers ‘Awayland’, and others that demonstrate a more streetwise modern angst like Frightened Rabbit’s ‘Pedestrian Verse’.

Other influences include hints of We Are Augustines, Arcade Fire, Local Natives and Cold War Kids. In the arena, the band have shared stages with Sparrow and The Workshop, Broken Records, Chris Mills and Mount Eerie. There is an online / radio fondness for them too, Tom Robinson recently hailed them as ‘long-standing 6Music Introducing favourites’ and ‘Tired of Being a Man’, the frontrunner on their last record, was in Amazing Radio’s ‘Top 20’ for a month in summer 2011.

‘Twisted Little Theatre’ is a booster jab of organised madness; its crashing drums and pulsating bass line menace round a deeply anxious vocal duelling with a sweeping confrontational hallmark of guitars and keys.  

The upcoming record was produced and mixed by the band’s own Tom Loffman - whose album credits as engineer include VV Brown, Idlewild, and Billy Bragg - having cut his teeth working alongside some of the county’s top producers in Phil Brown (Robert Plant) and Dave Eringa (Manic Street Preachers). With all tracks mastered by Ed Woods (Bloc Party, The Futureheads), this is all sure evidence that ‘How the World Ends’ will be as enthralling a listen as its titled suggests.
