Bad For Lazarus will next month release their debut single ‘Old Rats On A New Ship’. Front man Rich Fownes can credit himself to Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, With Scissors, Nine Inch Nails and UNKLE, and his new endeavor “straddles the wealth of punk, hardcore, Motown, and doo-wop”.
The Brighton lads have been together for less than a year but they already have a reputation as an awesome live band, playing with likes of Kong and Monotonix, and this November they’re touring with Chickenhawk and Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster.
‘Old Rats On A New Ship’ will be released on Shit Chic on the 30th November 2009.
Bad For Lazarus will play at Brighton’s Hobgoblin with Chickenhawk on the 24th October 2009.
