Golden Tanks release ‘Different Shades Of Red’ Free Download Single & Video – (for fans of Cancer Bats, Every Time I Die, Black Shapes)

After being picked as the wildcard for last years Red Bull Bedroom Jam, Golden Tanks had a tough 6 months. Their drummer contracted meningitis and they had to take a step back and await his recovery before they could capitalize on the opportunity. All recovered and raring to go they went into the studio and recorded their follow up to their debut EP ‘Golden Tanks’. The resulting release ‘R.D.H.B’ was a critically acclaimed, blistering 5 track EP about hard times, being friends and the simple art of enjoying yourself that proved this band truly understand the ethos of great hardcore and punk. New single ‘Different Shades Of Red’ picks up where the band left off and as per usual delivers more punch-per-pound than the average prizefighter, vocals so rough you could use them to file down steel and a fierce intensity often emulated but never bettered. Where others are imitating their US counterparts, Golden Tanks are innovating, sprinkling a decidedly UK underground flavor onto the meaty chops of Cancer Bats, Every Time I Die and The Chariot. Wailing guitar solos wrap around fistfuls of vicious vocal delivery and machine-gun riffs like crumpled, speeding cars around lamp-posts in a glorious, twisted wreckage of super heavy punk’n’roll. Catch the band on tour with Black Shapes this November – bring a spare face, yours is about to get ripped off.
