MENACE BEACH SHARE SUPER TRANSPORTERREUM VIDEO VIA NOISEY
SUPER TRANSPORTERREUM EP RELEASED 25TH SEPTEMBER 2015 ON MEMPHIS INDUSTRIES
“Guitar lines sip and stumble through the band’s grungy muck, occasionally spiraling through a psych-rock stupor. Even the lyrics follow a similarly staggering path, with the layered vocals bouncing along happily before lurching into a sudden scream, or slopping into heavier tempers on the bridge and chorus” – Consequence Of Sound
“If Menace Beach were from Brooklyn or Seattle the hype would be deafening” DIY
“joyfully capture the exhilaration of alternative’s recent past” Pitchfork

“like Bleach era Nirvana tanked up on candyfloss and ketamine” NME

Menace Beach present their new kaleidoscopic daydream of a new video for “Super Transporterreum,” premiered by Noisey. Director Tom Hudson discussed its inception: “We spoke about the 1950’s b-movie ‘The Brain From Planet Arous’ as an inspiration. In classic b-movie style I shot the guys on green screen at the Lord Whitney studio in Leeds, made some hideously warped background animations using super 8 acetate & after effects, crafted a giant brain with eyes, a giant skull and then got to work! Think of it as ‘The Brain From Planet Arous’ meets (late night 1990’s Channel 4 music show) ‘The Word’.”

“Super Transporterreum”

Some bands don’t mess about. Having released their debut album Ratworld in January of this year, Menace Beach’s fizzing, over caffeinated creativity needed another outlet. So, in-between touring with the likes of Drenge and the Cribs, and becoming one of Johnny Marr’s new favourite bands, Menace Beach found time to head into the Suburban Home studio with Hookworm’s MJ to record a brand new EP, set for release 25th September on Memphis Industries.

The Super Transporterreum EP is a distillation of what Menace Beach have previously called their “own grubby little Ratworld”, now with added technicolour. With band leaders Ryan and Liza’s unmistakable vocal interplay coming to the fore, their lopsided surreal and esoteric creativity means they have created a sound that is unmistakably their own.

Menace Beach will head in to the studio to record their second album shortly, and are on tour this year.
