‘Fishman’
Formed in London in 2011, Eighteen Nightmares At The Lux have steadily carved out a niche sound for themselves by trading in Kraut-rock and psychedelic influences for a sound that encapsulates elements of horrorcore a ’la early Cramps , psychobilly and the frenetic garage punk of 80’s Matchbox B-Line Disaster.
The new track ‘Fishman’ is the first track taken from the band’s forthcoming EP and perfectly showcases the band’s unique style, with a fucked-up marriage of dramatic vocals, guitars that balance between deranged surf-punk and sinister garage riffs, and a rhythm section as unpredictable as the band’s influences.
Completely disregarding safer retro influences and gravitating towards more obscure sounds, Eighteen Nightmares At The Lux have found themselves pioneering the next wave of UK-based acts trading substance over style. It’s no surprise then that already in their career they frequently share stages with fellow envelope-pushers like Nicole Saboune, Bad For Lazarus, God Damn, Ashestoangels, LOOM and classic Liverpudian Art Punk band Deaf School.
‘Fishman’ is taken from the band’s new EP ‘Mouth To Mouth’, to be released in the Autumn with a full UK tour.
