These New Puritans stirred up a massive shit storm with fashionata’s Vice (www.viceland.com) with the release of their debut album ‘Beat Pyramid’ back in 2008. Vice described the band as ‘sharp, strange and enchanting…there aren’t many bands around like These New Puritans’.
The band hail from the underground ‘South End Scene’ which turned it’s back on the neon glow sticks and rave paint of the time (2007) and aimed to paint it’s own scene with a pallet of grey and black. Most notable artists to emmerge from this unique scene are The Horrors along with other contemporaries such as Neil’s Children and XX Teens.
These New Puritans play a unqiue, dark, disturbing and challenging blend of alternative and electro. This is definately NOT something you would dance to on the Snobs dancefloor with your mates. This band are as dark as the day is long, which leads to yet more darkness. To cut a long story short, this is dark stuff…
The band are bringing the darkness to the great Hare & Hounds venue in Kings Heath early Feburary in support of their follow up sophmore album ‘Hidden’. Said album is currently up on the band’s myspace to listen to in it’s entirety.
