Most everything about New Woman tends to get a little blurred around the edges. From their name – they are in fact two men from Leeds, Tom Bradley and Adam Taylor whose bad reputation is built upon some chaotic live shows, including a couple of celebrated support slots with the immortal Tav Falco’s Panther Burns and those badass iconoclasts Black Lips – to their sound, they are a band who create no little uncertainty and leave a whole heap of confusion in their wake.
In anticipation of the release of their debut EP Doom School early next week and its launch this very evening at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds, New Woman have just unveiled a video accompaniment to one of the tracks from the new record, ‘Without Teeth You’d Be Nothing’.
A vertiginous view of the ultimate full English breakfast is what you get for your troubles as the tortured sound of modern garage punk explodes all around your ears. For its sins, ‘Without Teeth You’d Be Nothing’ just rattles along packing a most barbarous punch of guitar and drums, over which a barely decipherable voice screams like the yodelling Aussie crooner Frank Ifield might well have done had he been doused in kerosene, booted off into the outback and then had a hellhound set on his trail with a lit match between its teeth.
The Doom School EP will be released on 23rd March 2015 through Dead Young Records.
The first chance to get your grubby mitts on the CD is at tonight’s launch party at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds (Friday 20th March 2015) where New Woman will be supported by Mush, Hank Haint & Cruickshanks and Dull Aches. And what is even more, it won’t cost you a penny. But best sign up here for a FREE e-ticket to guarantee entry.
