Morgellons are a 4 piece post punk band based in London who formed in 2011 and take their name from a rather nasty sounding disorder characterized by rashes and itching that feels like insects are moving around under the skin.
The line up of the band is Vincent Mahone (vocals), Mark Geraghty (bass), Josh Pinto (guitar) and Mannie Zerafa (drums). They list amongst their influences The Stooges, Joy Division, Magazine and Wire. Their first album was 2014's The Memory Of Echoes and they recently returned with a self titled follow up which is available from Flicknife Records and on Bandcamp : https://morgellons.bandcamp.com/album/morgellons
In a couple of days (Fri 8th Sept) they'll be sharing a stage with the likes of Tom Robinson, Eddie And The Hot Rods, Jilted John and Menace at the Undercover Festival in Margate. You can get more details on this and other gigs here : https://www.facebook.com/Morgellons/
The song below is the lead track on the new album, it's about depression and it's called Black Dog....
