| Formed in 2001, Brighton mentalists The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster consist of singer Guy McKnight, guitarists Andrew Huxley and Marc Norris, bassist Sym Gharial and drummer Tom Diamantopoulo. Since storming into the public conscious with debut album 'Horse of The Dog' in 2002, on the band's own Noe Death records, the band have become renowned for their ghoulish lyrics, fiendishly infectious horrorbilly and storming live shows. A stint on the Radio 1 stage at the Carling Weekender: Reading and Leeds 2004 widened the band's fanbase considerably and gave a taster of material from their second album, 'The Royal Society', released in the UK on 25th October. Following the release of the album, TEMBLD embarked on a typically spooky Hallowe'en- time tour, supported by two-piece Winnebago Deal. With a sound unlike anything heard before, Eighties Matchbox are far impossible to categorise. More ghoulish and aestethically outrageous than even Marilyn Manson could hope to be, rest assured that, until they release a thrid album, this kind of bonkers noise-mongering will seldom be heard again. |
