Recorded in the summer of 2006, this Ep is a collection of rough, raw, punk rock songs from Telford's premier horrorpunk band Dead Pleasures.
Having been informed by the band that this was a rushed EP just to show the fans how they have grown, i am very pleasently surprised, yes the production is very rough but this is heavily outweighed by the talent on show and the level of catchy sing along tunes.
DR Zombie, Billeth and Daisy Graves have written and recorded a modern punk record with all the blood and guts of the 70s punk scene, fans of very early misfits will love this band
To start the Ep off and carry on the theme of the classic cult Sam Raimi movie we have the intro 'Necronomicon' and first track proper 'Evil Dead', by now you should be picking up on the theme of zombies and this band love their zombies. The first track that stands out to me is 'Eat My Brains', i love the time changes on this song, i didnt expect it and i found myself headbanging along with the track without knowing. Next came 'Ghost Train', which to me had a slight psychobilly sound to it, but none the less when the chorus kicks in you know its a true punk anthem. Next we have 'They're Coming To Get You...', this is an intro to the finale of the EP and is a perfect way to set the listener up for the ball-crushing song that is '...Barbara', this song ends the EP perfectly with an insanely catchy sing along chorus.
Yes, this EP is rough sounding but that is quickly forgotten when you experience the songs, Dead Pleasures are a band who know how to write a good, simple punk rock song and i am sure they will be at the front of the british horropunk scene within the next year, i expect great things from this band in 2007 and so should you!!
