Cuddly Shark To Release Body Mass Index EP

• 12th Sep 2012

Glasgow based rockers Cuddly Shark encapsulate a purist “plug in and play” ethos with a touch of ice cold rock’n’roll. Idiosyncratic lyricism and odd anti-melodies combined with foot down pedal-to-the-metal performances.

The band consists of two boys and one girl, Colin Reid on guitar and vocals, Jason Sinclair on drums and vocals and Ruth Forsyth on bass guitar.

Born and bred in the bonnie Highlands of Scotland the band found themselves magnetically drawn to the rainsoaked musical hotspot that is Glasgow to hone their sound. Things seemed to twitter along very quickly and Cuddly Shark found themselves with a winning debut album met with a host of acclaim from the likes of Rock Sound, Artrocker, BBC Radio 1 (Vic Galloway’s ‘Album of the Month’), and even celebrity endorsement from Kevin McKidd (Grey’s Anatomy, Rome).

The Body Mass Index EP is the first new material from the band since said album, and continues to show the trio brimming with punk attitude and spilling over with melodic brilliance. Check out the brand new video for the lead track above. Reaffirming that they will never have an ounce of pretentious hip- fat on them. The bands forthcoming album, The Road To Ugly is due for release in January next year.

Their live shows have seen comparisons made to Husker Du, Minor Threat, Ween, Fugazi and Weezer. Yet Cuddly Shark are unmistakably their own entity, a blistering romp of rock’n’roll carnage firing as loud as they can from a post-rock cannon.
