This week’s UK Artist of The Week hails from Wales. Previously named Heavy Petting Zoo (which if you follow the UK press, is remarkably appropriate given their Prime Minister’s alleged University proclivities), they decided to shake things up a bit and rename themselves Beach Fatigue—which we’re sure has warmed the cockles of their poor old mothers’ hearts.
Their forthcoming single “Drunken Grrrls” is a no holds barred, grimy slice of psychobilly with one foot firmly in the realm of The Cramps, while the other dances coyly around the likes of Bikini Kill and L7.
This is the first single of their debut album which promises more fuzzed up surf rock, and if you want to get your hands on it, you’ll have to wait the end of October. In the meantime, kickback and enjoy the dark tones of the 4-piece (and their dancer) who may just knock Dylan Thomas off the map as their school’s most celebrated export. Well, that may be a bit too far. All you need to know is they rock.
“Drunken Grrrls” is out on October 30th via Kool Girl Records.
