Model Zero (which features members of Ex-Cult, Aquarian Blood, and Jack Oblivian's backing band the Sheiks) will release their debut LP via Slovenly Recordings and Black Gladiator on June 28th. You can hear the first Drum Buddy-soaked single from the album now.
Brooklyn Vegan says Memphis' Model Zero "mix garage rock with vintage electronics for a post-apocalyptic party band sound."
You can catch Model Zero on tour this summer! Until then, the labels busted us a rhyme about the album...
Black Gladiator and Slovenly the bomb squad we be,
Set to unleash a depth charge of cold blooded circuitry.
MODEL ZERO swinging sinister in the LP biz,
Live from Memphis T.N. it's the new beat, what is this?
Jack Oblivian the illest slid us over some Sheiks,
Co-conspirators Goner In The Red broke us off some Ex-Cult this week.
The Don Mr. Quintron assembles Drum Buddies from the ground up,
Mod Z gnaws the breaks and regurgitates, what the f is up Chuck?
Kill the Guardian with a Japanese Death Poem,
Creepy crawling acidic electro-shocks to the dome.
Tracklist:
Kill the Guardian, Japanese Death Poem, Gift of Lies, Modern Life, Mr. Soul, Missile Protector, Sludge, 9mm, Who Plays This Game?
