Demob Happy preview debut album with ‘Junk DNA’
Brighton group give a taste of ‘Dream Soda’.
Brighton’s Demob Happy have unveiled ‘Junk DNA’, the latest blast of forthright, down and dirty rock to emerge from their debut album ‘Dream Soda’.
With the first work out 2nd October on SO Recordings, this new song links up with ‘Succubus’, ‘Suffer You’, ‘Wash It Down’ and ‘Young & Numb’ in being taken from the LP. This time round, they bring a more ominous wall of sound to the table. Part ‘AM’-style Arctic Monkeys, part grunge homage, it’s another glimpse of the group’s knack for delivering everything with sinister intent.
