TRYPT UP, THE - Wide-Eyed & Headless CD (NEW) (M)

This is a release that I wanted to do personally for a long time as their single on "DETOUR RECORDS" is still one of my favourite releases to grace our label. As soon as I first heard the demo that the band sent us I instantly fell in love with it! I didn't want the band to do anything with it at all as I wanted it as it was... It was packed with Angst, rawness & energy while the beat just keeps pounding your brain relentlessly!

Colin from the band writes...

At the time it was exciting, we were all self-taught, only wanted to use vintage equipment, were quickly supported by the New Untouchables crowd and Detour loved our first raw punkier demo, was a buzz recording at Toe Rag, gigging in Europe, Paul Raymond taking us under his wing, The Action supporting us(!), getting banned by the local indie events organisers, the usual really.

I guess we quickly evolved from classic 'Pebbles' type US garage-punk to a heavier sounding UK mod-rock sound too. I guess a lot of this was down to Giles switching from Vox Continental keyboards to Hammond/Leslie set-ups.

It was fun while it lasted.
