Transatlantic Grunge Punks Pale Angels Are Back with a New Seven-Inch

Last year, we discovered the transcontinental fuzz project Pale Angels, featuring none other than everyone’s favorite pop punk virtuoso, Mikey Erg. The trio’s debut, Primal Play, was a wonderfully obnoxious grunge throwback full of reverbed squeals and fuzz. They’re currently working on a follow up LP—eventually. As quickly as a bunch of dudes who live across the Atlantic can work on an album, anyway. In the meantime, they’ve put together this four-song EP, Strange Powers. It’s a live session—three songs plus a cover of the Feelies’ “Crazy Rhythms.” Maybe their best stuff yet.

Pre-order the very limited seven-inch from Specialist Subject Records. It’s out August 18.

The band has a few UK dates coming up and will be hitting up Fest in October:

Sept 30- The Cavern, Exeter

Oct 1- Sticky Mike’s Frog Bar, Brighton

Oct 2- The Lughole, Sheffield

Oct 3- Sin City, Swansea

Oct 4- The Joiners, Southampton (Early)

Oct 4- The Montague, London (Late)
