New York’s premiere
instrumental surf punk band returns with a brand new album of
insanely catchy grooves and hip-shaking rhythms that are sure to get
the hep cats dancing in the aisles! Aggravatin’ Rhythms, The
Daggers third full-length album since 2002, ain’t your daddy’s
surf rock, though the group certainly bares the influence of seminal
surf legends, Dick Dale and Link Wray. But The Coffin Daggers deliver
a more modern, punk-inspired brand of surf heard best on tracks such
as the rollicking “Instigator,” the spooky “Sinister Urge,”
or the bluesy swagger of “Concussion.” All of those tracks and
more can be heard on Aggravatin’ Rhythms, will be available
on both CD and on groovy green vinyl starting February 12 courtesy of
Cleopatra Records!
Founding member
and lead guitarist for The Coffin Daggers Viktor Venom hails from the
vaunted East Coast ‘80s punk scene as a founder of crust punk band
Nausea as well as a previous turn as bass player for Reagan Youth.
Venom is joined by keyboardist extraordinaire and rhythm guitarist
Rob Morrison, bassist Peter Klarnet and drummer Pete Martinez.
Together this quartet are simply one of the most unique groups
around. Speaking about the new album, bassist Klarnet declares, “We
decided to go all out with this LP, so we recorded it over 16 tracks
on 2 inch tape at Metrosonic Studios in Brooklyn—resulting in a
deep, lush sound. It’s certainly not the cheapest way to record
these days, but we all firmly believe that if you’re going to
record something for posterity, it might as well be the highest
quality possible. The proof of course is in the final product which
we believe is our finest effort to date.” Previous releases by the
band have been praised by Guitar Player who observed that Venom
“moves proceedings beyond mere era emulation by unleashing a rude
and vicious riff that would have made Link Wray smile.” Meanwhile,
the group’s live performances have floored both European and
American audiences from start to finish, prompting Chart magazine to
declare “no one comes close to The Coffin Daggers when it comes to
all-out intensity...they will stomp a mudhole into your fragile
minds.”
A release party for Aggravatin’
Rhythms is planned for February 19 at the Lucky 13 Saloon in
Brooklyn with special guests Black Flamingos and a rare performance
by the legendary Purple K’nif!
