THE
YOUNGER LOVERS
Originally
from Alabama, Brontez began THE YOUNGER LOVERS aged 12, along with two
of his girl cousins,T'kwa and Bean, ditching the baptist choir to practise.
In the wee hours of the decade - after catching punk germs, and discovering
the revolution in Riot Grrrl records and teenage zines - he left his cousins
behind and moved to California, spending time in other bands (GRAVY TRAIN!!!!,
PANTY RAID, THE SOCIAL LIES, THE MANHANDLERS) before releasing the debut
Younger Lovers LP, "Newest Romantic" and the Vice Cooler (HAWNAY
TROOF) produced EP "California Soul" on the Raw Sugar and Retard
Disco labels.
The Younger Lovers share a similar brat-tastic bubblegum-queer-pop approach
to punk as GRAVY TRAIN!!!! and PANSY DIVISION, but with a more garage-y
and delinquent sound - like THE RAMONES making out with each other on
the street corner, listening to THE RONDELLES on transistor radios...
Whilst on record, Brontez mostly plays and sings everything himself, when
he performs live he picks friends from other bands to play with him wherever
he is. In the past, this has included members of PARTYLINE, NEW BLOODS,
HORNET LEG, HAWNAY TROOF and SPIDER AND THE WEBS. For the UK tour he will
be joined by members of COREY ORBISON, THE MIDDLE ONES and ZERO CHARISMA.
Expect enough sass to set your roller-skates a-fire, and a full-sized
kick on the lips for the punk-kids on the dancefloor...everytime!
THE
BUMBLEBEES
THE
BUMBLEBEES spit out genius, neurotic pop tunes the way most bands spit
out gum, and they deliver them to you wrapped up in your own sugary tongue,
so you'll never get them out of your head again! They are the sting and
the sore and the kiss to make it all better; with harmonies sharper than
glass, they are as dreamy as they are frantic, and as punchy as they are
perfect.
An album of brat-beat impeccability is currently being recorded for the
Local Kid record label.
