When Animals Attack! part 8: The Punk Edition
Yes, animal band names. So many of them… Read more When Animals Attack
series.
SHARKS
facebook.com/sharksuk
Sharks are from the UK, with a debut album, No Gods, coming out on
March 20th, via Rise Records. Fans of punk indie rock should check out
their new single, "Arcane Effigies", via youtube . The video shows
some youth getting a haircut, eating chips, hanging out with mates,
playing football (soccer); it's all very British.
Although a pretty young band (described as "barely old enough to
drive"), Sharks already been featured in such magazines like KERRANG!,
The Guardian, NME (of course!), and America's Alternative Press
magazine (calling the band "Most Anticipated Music of 2012").
Be on the lookout for their arch nemesis band, The Jets.
TOADIES
thetoadies.com
I actually saw Toadies a few years ago. The band recently announced
some new EPs for 2012, the first one is called PLAY.ROCK.MUSIC. and
will be out May 8th; also they'll be starting a tour with Social
Distortion in April.
Do you know what's funny? Social D was one of the first bands I saw
when I was living in Fresno, California. They were huge back then just
coming off their big hit single "Bad Luck". It's good to see Toadies
in good company.

DINOWALRUS
dinowalrus.com
I actually like the band name, Dinowalrus. It just sounds like a
really big confused animal (who likes to wear a smoking jacket).
Dinowalrus' new album is called Best Behavior and promises to be more
"listenable" than their experimental and "cryptic" debut 2010 album %.
From my understanding, the band is influenced by krautrock, post-punk,
psychedelic rock, and house music.
I did preview the album somewhat, it's loud, but it does have a melody
to it. There are definitely some "jam" moments in their songs. The
best song on the new album is "RICO", which sounds like it belong in
the 80s with all that synth and disco.
Look for Best Behavior, out on March 6th, 2012, via Old Flame Records.
If you live in the UK, look for it on Heist or Hit Records.
TOAD
facebook.com/TOADmusic
This is actually a metal band from Phoenix, Arizona, but I couldn't
help but place them here because The Sleeping Shaman called their
music as "a mash up of punk, black metal, crazy treble picking,
utterly abrasive and yet catchy." Plus, I thought it was funny, having
them next to Toadies.
In case you were wondering "TOAD" actually is an acronym for "Take
Over And Destroy".
