 MEDIA RELEASE AUSTRALIAN ROCK OUTFIT VIOLENT SOHO RELEASE SECOND SINGLE “VICEROY” LISTEN + SHARE VIA YOUTUBE & SOUNDCLOUD NEW ALBUM WACO OUT MARCH 18, 2016 VIA DINE ALONE RECORDS IN CANADA PRE-­ORDER THE NEW RECORD ON FEBRUARY 19 “…one of Australia’s most in-­demand bands…” – Tone Deaf (February 3, 2016 – Toronto, ON) – Today, it is with great pleasure we present you with “Viceroy”, the second offering from Australian rock outfit Violent Soho’s highly anticipated fourth LP WACO -­ which we’re equally psyched to announce will be released on March 18, 2016 through Dine Alone Records in Canada. The album will be available to pre-­order via iTunes and the Dine Alone Webstore on February 19. Enter, “Viceroy”: a song that was only finished during the band’s last pre-­production session for the forthcoming album. The suburban anthem opens with Luke Henery’s instantly engaging bass riff and is quickly followed by singer and lyricist Luke Boerdam’s recognizable vocal as he snarls the opening lines “Kill joy. You’re like a rhinestone pickup line. My drunk guitar is more fun than you’ll ever be.” It’s not long before James Tidswell’s guitar and Michael Richard’s kit come to the party and we find ourselves in the midst of a track that sounds like the best (or perhaps worst for those of you the enjoy the quieter side of life) house party Mansfield has to offer. LISTEN TO “VICEROY” HERE: Youtube | Soundcloud Purchase via iTunes: http://geni.us/Viceroy …2 “Viceroy”, which had its world premiere today on triple j in Australia, follows the first single “Like Soda” which pummeled into the hearts of Australians and North Americans in October last year. “Like Soda” premiered on Noisey (US) and triple j, who’s listeners voted the track in at #15 on this year’s #hottest100, and was an automatic hit with fans. The track trended on Facebook for 50+ hours and managed 73k+ plays on Spotify during the week of its release. The band announced an October ’15 East Coast Australian tour with tickets selling out in a matter of hours. An incredible video followed which featured the band in lawn bowling garb, fighting for the love of mature-­aged women. Iced Vovo’s will never be looked at the same! Furthermore, a petition was started by a fan to make “Like Soda” the Australian national anthem! Having spent the last eight months recording and mixing their forthcoming record at The Shed studios in Brisbane with producer Bryce Moorhead, it’s fair to say that the four friends from Mansfield have been putting in the hard yards to make sure that the follow up to 2013’s breakout album Hungry Ghost is not only up to par with its predecessor but extends upon it. Hungry Ghost, released in September 2013 was a huge success for the band and certainly their breakthrough album. The gold selling album peaked at #6 on the ARIA Album Chart and unexpectedly made a return to the charts in April 2015 some 18 months following its release. WACO is named for the small Texas city that was the site of the Koresh-­led Branch-­Davidian siege/massacre/shootout with the FBI in 1993. WACO, explains singer, guitarist and songwriter Luke Boerdam, is like Hungry Ghost’s older sister: Hungry Ghost dealt with the spiritual skeleton we’ve become from this spoon-­
fed reality. WACO is more about control and illusion: what the skeleton is being fed.” WACO Track Listing: 01. How To Taste 02. Blanket 03. Viceroy – Youtube | Soundcloud 04. So Sentimental 05.
