Below you can watch T.A.N.K.'s first single from the new upcoming album 'Symbiosis'. This is the lyric video of the song "From The Straight and Narrow".
Huge fans of eighties B-movie horrors, the kind that are so bad they’re good, Autopsy Boys formed after seeing Troma Movies' ‘Surf Nazi’s Must Die’. Researching the equipment used on the original sound track, the band bought what they could within their budget and started making music.
Within three months, Autopsy Boys had a handful of songs and motivated by some encouraging words from the members of their favourite band The Dwarves, they left their jobs and enrolled on intensive music courses to gain entry into Leeds Music College.
A very small following gained from the music Autopsy Boys had placed online led to an appearance at music festival in Leeds where their hardcore punk combined with synths and samples was a huge hit with the audience.
The band were approached by a local record label but decided to self-release their debut single, wondering why they should hire a studio when they could build one instead. They dug a cellar under the living room of vocalist Lee's house, kitted it out and set to work on their first seven inch 'Rich Kids Playground'.
The hugely positive reviews generated by their debut single and subsequent album 'Def Elements' meant Autopsy Boys soon gained an army of fans. Horror afficiandos loved where the band were coming from lyrically and visually whilst others simply enjoyed their original sound and fresh approach to music.
An episode of the Simpsons called ’21 tales from Springfield’ inspired Autopsy Boys' second album with twenty-one songs and five singles, all featuring their favorite Canadian scream queen Debbie Rochon who is a big fan of the band. Iconic horror filmmakers Troma will be endorsing and distributing the band's music videos; a series depicting twenty-four hours of suburban anarchy.
'Song For Debbera' will be a bonus feature on Debbie Rochon’s latest movie and the band will feature on VHS Massacre, a documentary about the decline of video nasties and physical media.
2014 saw the band headline the new band stage at Rebellion music festival, this year they were invited to play the main stage. So far, Autopsy Boys have shared the stage with bands such as The Dwarves, Boomtown Rats, The Dickies, Evil Blizzard, DOA, The Buzzcocks, God Damn and Heck. The band have a short European tour planned in October.

Well, you waited quite long for it, not? Here is the new clip.....
The Destruction Unit have about a month left until their recently announced Negative Feedback Resistor LP finally hits the streets via Sacred Bones Records. Earlier this summer the band announced the album simply with a manifesto of sorts, declaring that there is no chance of Destruction Unit slowing down, or obeying any set of 'rules' when it comes to making this music. Out of left field came the first 'single' from the album, "If Death Ever Slept," which took what you'd imagine a followup track to their beloved Deep Trip LP would sound like and spun it on its head. It's faster, meaner, and the entire track set at a blitzkrieg pace.
This past weekend saw the band play Berserktown Festival in Santa Ana, CA as "Destruction Unit & Friends," boasting a lineup of nine individuals on stage. This is no unusual act for the band. The lineup featured Alex Zhang Hungtai (Dirty Beaches, Last Lizard) and Don Bolles (The Germs) who both appear on the upcoming album, as well as many others.
Today the band are sharing album closer "The Upper Hand," which is another uncompromising audio assault -- if Motörhead took too much acid and bought some wah pedals and met up with Discharge to make a track, this is what it might sound like.
The band was recently in NYC for a weekend of shows and spent a chunk of that time with SPIN Magazine. You can read their profile on the band and listen to the new track here. For everything else, including tour dates and album info, see below!
