80s Matchbox B-Line Disaster Return

• 24th Mar 2010

Where, you may well, indeed should, ask yourself, have THE EIGHTIES MATCHBOX B-LINE DISASTER been?

Well, armed with a new album, ‘Blood and Fire’ – brought to you via Russia, rehab, personnel upheaval, scraps and the searing heat of unquenchable souls on fire – they return with a vengeance this May.

Showing themselves to be true rock survivors the band has joined the Black Records family, home to Clint Mansell, Russian Circles and The Bookhouse Boys.

‘Horse Of The Dog’ introduced the most visceral, spiritual, colourful and intense howlabilly head-fuck of a band ever to dive screaming from the front of a stage to chew off your face. ‘The Royal Society’ made them one of the most inventive: the raw ore of the debut honed into mighty slabs of skewed melodic majesty. The latest offering is set to blow you away in a completely new way.

The band will be playing at two festivals in May; the Camden Crawl (May 2nd) and The Great Escape (May 13th) and have just announced a much anticipated London headline show at the Relentless Garage on June 3rd.

More tour dates are to be announced imminently, so keep your eyes and ears open, as this could be the best comeback you see in 2010.

The album, to be released May 17th, and a limited vinyl & download single, ‘Love Turns To Hate’, May 10th is proof, if proof indeed were needed, that THE EIGHTIES MATCHBOX B-LINE DISASTER are just too special to die.
