Chosen by Monk
Right from the outset I have to state my business (sic) and admit that, having once dubbed them “one of the Titanic Trio of the three worst thrash bands on the island of Ireland”, this Belfast-based “war jazz” trio are one of those bands I loved to hate, and hated to love, but now love to love – and this totally brilliant slice of audio-visual lunacy emphasizes my gradual change in affections for the beys.
Both the song and the accompanying clip – which features a masterful cameo from the band’s manager and Mr Belfast Metal himself, “Sir” James Loveday – are based on the short story ‘Button, Button’ by Richard Matheson, with the video inspired by The Twilight Zone episode by the same name.
- ‘State Your Business’ is taken from the album ‘Perilous Compulsion’, due for release on 28 March via Distortion Project Records.
