Dirty Water Records Presents: Atomic Suplex - 14 Inches of Fist

LONDON, April 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --



HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THE INEXPLICABLE?

There is no way to accurately describe Atomic Suplex, though many have tried: rock and
roll mayhem... loud, raucous, trashy, punky, rock and roll... like Guitar Wolf on
mescaline... That might give you some idea.

However, Atomic Suplex are one of the best live bands you could ever see, or even
imagine. Screaming guitars, brutal, primal drumming and a twisted, wailing saxophone
cutting through it all. Half of the band look like they're being electrocuted on stage,
and Atomic Suplex himself - resplendent in his fringed leather jacket, flying V guitar in
hand and face covered by a miked-up motorcycle helmet through which he sings - is one of
the most mesmerising characters on stage today.



But don't get the idea that this is a bunch of macho nitwits. The whole thing is done
with a sense of humour and is a joy to behold. Their debut album - on Crypt Records, no
less - includes such numbers as 'Rock & Roll Machine', 'Rock & Roll Action', 'Rock & Roll
Is Never Going To Die', 'Rock & Roll Must Die' and, of course, 'I Am Rock & Roll.'



And while their live shows might look chaotic on the surface, they can all play their
instruments and are actually having, you know, fun. Remember that? Atomic Suplex have
toured Europe and Asia sharing the stage with such luminaries as The Hives, Guitar Wolf,
The Gories, The Adolescents, Nobunny, The Kids, Jet Boys, Armitage Shanks, Richard
Herring, The Spits, The Fat White Family, The Buzzcocks, Theee Bat, and many more. One
review of their debut said, "This is not a band for the faint of heart. They play the sort
of ultra-raw vicious garage rock that only exists in Jack White's nightmares."



The only things I can think of that come close to the sheer sonic chaos on here are
Danko Jones' 'I'm Alive and On Fire' and the Jim Jones Revue's 'Here to Save Your Soul'.
Every song is a one to two minute burst of distorted guitars, insane vocals, the
occasional bit of sax and not one second of thinking that they ought to drop the tempo or
volume to anything approaching normality. And, you know what? It's brilliant. If you want
some raw, visceral rock'n'roll thrills this band comes highly recommended. Just prepare
for the need to go and lie down in a darkened room after listening to them."
