NEWS: The Graboids return with new EP “Back to Perfection”
Press release provided by The Graboids
_________________________
A
year and a half after the band’s last release, “Aftershocks,” The
Graboids return with their new “Back to Perfection” EP on 7” colored
vinyl. The title of the EP follows the naming convention of the Halifax,
Nova Scotia band’s namesake Tremors films.
The EP will be released on April 20, 2013 at Gus’ Pub with good buds The Holy Snappers and Moncton’s Rockin’ Rebels.
In September 2012, The Graboids went into Echo Chamber Audio with former Graboid
James
O’Toole, recording the songs featured on four-track “Back to
Perfection.” The recording highlights the songwriting of vocalist/band
founder Adrian Bruhm and new guitarist Tim Sullivan, who each
contributed a pair of songs.
The
album’s artwork falls in line with the last two EPs. Bruhm draws
inspiration from Black Flag artist Raymond Pettibon, and uses a single
base color for the background with a simple but effective centralized
image. ”Back to Perfection” features Bruhm’s infamous wrestling
alterego, The Grapplin’ Graboid.
The Graboids won the “Best Live Hijinks” in The Coast’s
Best of Music reader survey in 2013. Their live show often features
live wrestling with appearances by The Grapplin’ Graboid, who has had an
ongoing feud with Gus’ Pub manager Jake “The Smoke Break Kid” Thurgood.
This “bad blood” has resulted in the formation of the gWo (Gus’ World
Order), which includes The Grapplin’ Graboid and comedian Merv Hartlen
(also known as Haywire).The Graboids continue to work on additional tracks and will release the final EP in their tetralogy, “The Legend Begins,” sometime in the not too distant future.
