RELEASES ~ THOSE FOREIGN KIDS - WRESTLEMANIA
Those Foreign Kids return from hibernation brandishing their 3rd album, 'Wrestlemania', between their teeth and with 2 (TWO) record labels following their trail: Vibe/Anti-Vibe and Geertruida.
Whilst the noise-rock duo start their album woozy and out-for-the-count, they soon steady themselves and deliver a solid stream of high energy garage rock which harnesses the heavily-effected guitar riffs
of Marijn Westerlaken, the blistering drums of Teun Heijmans and their shared falsetto vocals. Whilst Those Foreign Kids' previous albums sounded something like a punk rock band soundtracking a slow-mo video
of the world imploding, this one sounds more like a straight-up fucking party.
Recorded with Casper van der Lans at Erik’s House, Amsterdam and mastered by the Australian punk rock luminary Mikey Young (Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Total Control). 'Wrestlemania' is an undeniably
entertaining bout which slams choruses through weak office furniture and announces a few shock celebrity guests (The Spice Girls, Gandhi) whilst throwing devil horns to the audience.
