A Feast of Beast

Punks On Mars - You Do, You Don’t

Premier from Bad Expectations LP out 10/30 on Zoo Music

Some super rad glam rock/pop for your ears to feast on.  I was already psyched for this album when I heard Showers of Pain a few weeks back, and now today you can officially order the vinyl and snag an instant download (if you’re a Zoo Music subscriber).  There’s a lot of variation here in under 30min and at times it sounds like a combo of some Roxy Music & King Tuff at their best.  I like that there’s also some female vocal support to further mix things up; I’m a sucker for female vocals. 

Looking at that sweet album art, how could you not like this? 

Punks On Mars - Bad Expectations LP ZM012 is up for pre-order from Zoo Music on Ltd Pink vinyl via secret link (↓↓↓ shhh!) for mail order subscribers.  So if you missed it, sign up so you don’t next time!  

Punks on Mars - Showers of Pain

Zoo Music:

Punks on Mars was formed as a recording/ art project by Ryan Howe in 2010.  Emerging from his tenure as space-funk- cyber-punker Luke Perry, (2008-2010, r.i.p.) and a whole slew of other bizarro electronic projects, Howe began infusing rock n’ roll forms into his space-aged pallet , delivering low fidelity power pop and punk tunes alongside half-baked interstellar sewerscapes and radio jingles (see Punks on Mars, S/T).

   After briefly touring America as a five-piece, Punks on Mars hit the studio to record the project’s first full band release, the forthcoming Bad Expectations, which features songs written by bassist/ pop mastermind Andrea Schiavelli (of The Eyes of Love, Polyester Raincoat).  

    Bad Expectations (Cat. #ZM012, LP & CD) comes out on October 30th, but mailing list subscribers will have the opportunity to buy it before it hits the shops- in a hot pink vinyl limited edition- only 200 made and those not purchased by mailing list subscribers will be distributed randomly to shops. 

     Plus,. as a thank you each mailing list purchaser will receive a gift from the Zoo Music back catalog: either a physical release (including out of print records) included with the hot pink vinyl Bad Expectations LP  OR an immediate link to the entire Zoo Music catalog in MP3 format- election to be made at time of purchase.
