Album Notes

BANG sugar BANG are a punk rock threesome hailing from Los Angeles, CA. Their sound is a combination of '77 style punk rock and the music of the British Invasion, complete with a slamming beat, enticing male/female harmonies and a good beer drenching.

Cooper (vocals/bass) and Matt Southwell (vocals/guitars) formed BANG sugar BANG in 2001 while working at a Los Angeles based erotic jello mold company. Soon after Pawley Filth (drums), a college buddy of Matt's who had not been seen since he and Matt were thrown out of a Detroit club for pelting Ted Nugent with beer bottles a year before, joined BANG sugar BANG and their hard and fast style of punk rock was born.

Playing a non-stop schedule of high voltage live shows has enabled BANG sugar BANG to accumulate a formidable fanbase throughout Southern California and beyond. They have shared the stage with greats such as the Adicts, the Dead Kennedys, the Dickies and Nina Hagen.

In addition, the band are co-creators of the thriving Kiss or Kill scene, dedicated to fostering underground indie and punk music in Los Angeles (www.kissorkillclub.com). The LA Weekly has said of Kiss or Kill, "The Sunset Strip's vampire venues are, fiscally and artistically, sucking us dry. Kiss or Kill's the tourniquet: Pucker up, suckers."

BANG sugar BANG recently signed with SOS Records, home of punk legends such as the Adicts, the Exploited and the Toy Dolls. Their sophomore album Thwak Thwak Go Crazy!! is set to be released on SOS nationwide this Fall in conjunction with a nationwide tour with the Adicts.

"If you're getting tired of all the bullshit punk that is out there and want to hear some Pixies-influenced type shit then, Bang Sugar Bang is the band for you. Sharing the microphone, Matt and Copper are a couple of fucking nuts who know who the true god is: BEER. BSB music is like off-roading in a Mini Cooper. It will leave your nuts jumping and your head rattled (or maybe that's the other way around)"(Skratch magazine, July 2004).
