Description

Mixing influences, Dub Thompson delivers a debut album with a punk spirit that is set to mark the year. Pulos and Evan Laffer are both 19 years old and together they form DUB THOMPSON. Their musical influences range from the Midwest malaise of Big Black and Pere Ubu to Kraut pioneers Can and Kraftwerk, while paying homage to the English belligerence of The Fall and This Heat. Recorded with Jonathan Rado (Foxygen) at his home in Bloomington, 9 Songs includes eight tracks that slip between genres and conventions and trample the promises made by the title itself. The energy displayed on this debut album is reminiscent of Metz or Parquet Courts. Like them, DUB THOMPSON will quickly carve out a place in the hearts of all fans of angry rock.
