Flats - Foxtrot / Tango

For the band that Morrissey personally requested to join him on his summer tour dates, raw noise is only the beginning.

Flats' taster track Foxtrot / Tango, from the outset, slaps a big wallowing slab of guitar noise down over your speakers. And then the singing starts - if it can indeed, be called singing. The wonderfully named Daniel Devine's vocals sound like they've been pulled straight from the whiskey-laced stage of a grotty 70s punk club; brutal, rough and uncompromising.

At seven minutes long, Foxtrot / Tango is rock 'n roll, the old fashioned way. Screeching, discordant melees of noise... pounding assaults of drums... every inch of the track is designed to pummel the senses, to blitz the listener into a frenzy of passion and adulation. The latter third of the track sees the band at their most destructive - the percussive blasts boiling up into an impossible pace - you're left gasping for air on the floor, bruised and bloodied - exhausted, but utterly exhilarated.

Foxtrot / Tango is taken from the forthcoming album Better Living - due to be released in April 2012.
