Montreal punks BAMBIES herald their long-awaited second album with a video which they're exclusively premiering with Vive Le Rock!
Buzzsaw punk-popper 'Mute' is taken from Snotty Angels, which follows on from their 2021 debut Summer Soon and is out tomorrow through Spaghetty Town in the US and Wanda in Europe.
The trio were formed a decade ago by guitarist/singer Sami, bassist Feli and drummer Julie, replaced the following year by Franki. Honing their chops on the local scene, a self-released cassette was followed by a debut 7-inch for Reta Records before heading to Mexico City to record their debut full-length with renowned engineer Diego Mier. Fast-forward to Easter '23 and the band headed into Sud-Ouest Recording Service to record the follow-up with engineer Matt Damron.
The new album's title has its roots in the recording process, say the band: "We were tracking 'oooooos' for the record and they sounded too soft, too nice. Sami wanted them more nasal, more snotty! And when we got them right, Franki mentioned that it sounded like snotty angels. And we thought that this image of snotty angels represented us. Like, we’re good guys but, not always good, you know? It’s about snide self-assertion. In a way the name embodies the feeling we had while recording, singing bratty parts that ended beautifully. We really felt like snotty angels."
Snotty Angels is available to pre-order now from Canada, the USA and Europe.
