THE COLA FREAKS are most famous as JAY REATARD's backing band shortly before his untimely death.
However their brand of spastic lo-fi punk rock ought to be more than a footnote......
these DANISH guys fuckin kill it....
i had the chance to see them live twice and not many bands play punk with such energy and precision.....
and not many american bands play such raw 70s era punk rock...... especially ones that definitely love those KILLED BY DEATH comps.........
here's the write-up from DOUCHEMASTER RECORDS, who just unleashed the lp in late may.....
"After a very impressive series of singles, we are pleased to announce the release of the debut LP from Denmark’s Cola Freaks. Cola Freaks sound like a scheduled and perfectly executed panic attack.
The songs these guys produce are as scrupulous as they are frenzied and eerie, however. Rare is it that a band can employ frequent direction change and herky jerky song structure and still command total attention.
Cola Freaks singles have habitually drawn comparisons to European KBD bands and Mr. Jay Reatard, and the LP does not stray much in that regard. Quick, clean and nervous is sort of the Cola Freaks MO, and that’s precisely what you’ll get with this record."
