COCTOPUS, RAMMING SPEED Sign With TEENAGE DISCO BLOODBATH RECORDS

May 16, 2007

Teenage Disco Bloodbath records will release two records this summer from two of Boston's most raging party metal bands.

When skate thrash titans BONES BRIGADE, and MISFITS-worshiping punks SHANGHAI VALENTINE broke up, something was already brewing in the steamy waters of Boston harbor. Two members from each band have come together to form COCTOPUS, a troupe that sonically embodies two decades' worth of rock history. Ripping guitar solos, epic harmonies, wah wah-ed bass lines, and raging drum fills bubble to the surface on COCTOPUS' debut record. Fans of IRON MAIDEN, THIN LIZZY, BLACK SABBATH, MOTÖRHEAD, and JIMI HENDRIX should all take note. The musical virtuosity this band displays is only rivaled by the pure balls-out rock they create. The new record, entitled "12 Inches of...", will be a one sided LP/CD package with an etching on the B side. A July release is expected. Check out a sample at this location.

Along with COCTOPUS, Boston's RAMMING SPEED are busting onto the metal scene this summer. The band premiers with a four-song 7", entitled "Full Speed Ahead", and a six-week U.S. tour to support it. Comprised of members from death/thrash bands INHERITANCE and CYANIDE BREED and crust grinders BACKSTABBERS INC., RAMMING SPEED plays an amalgam of '80s ANTHRAX-style thrash metal, grind, and ultra-fast hardcore.
