Desire Records presents Retriever

ByDidier BECU

Retriever are the dark underbelly of the Newcastle music scene.

Described as a frenzy of thick fuzz-bass, jagged reverb laden guitar, cutting drum-machine beats and screeching feedback topped with a slice of bitter female vocal.

Yeah, we know...but then again, it's the kind of formula that makes Peek-A-Boo say yeah!

Retriever played support slots for The Slits, These New Puritans, Dum Dum Girls, Crocodiles and Yuck among others.

This cd will be released by Desire Records,the label that brought you Kasms, Project:Komakino and //TENSE// to name a few.

Desire will be releasing a limited number of 300 12" vinyl copies along with downloads available.
