Shrinkwrap Killers - I Think The Sirens Are Coming For Me

  


  The Shrinkwrap Killers (aka Greg Wilkinson from Brainoil and Earhammer Studios) have already featured twice on here this year with the splendidly titled (and very catchy) Stolen Electrics To Shove Up Your Ass and It's Not A Dead Body Inside This Bag. Today sees the posting of another song as there's now a new album and unsurprisingly it also has a splendid title (and is full of very catchy tracks!). It's called Feral Rats Have Become Our Only Pets and it's available on vinyl from Iron Lung Records ("150 copies on translucent green with black splatter and 350 on black 150gr vinyl housed in a 24pt jacket with lyric sheet (essential!) and download card included.")  http://ironlungrecords.bigcartel.com/product/shrinkwrap-killers-feral-rats-have-become-our-only-pets-lp


  On a recent Just Some Punk Songs show I played the title track and someone commented "They're basically putting out the same song every time but what a brilliant song it is!" and there was a grain of truth to that statement as the "band" have a signature synth punk sound (I think I previously described it as budget bubblegum and compared them to The Spits). 

  There's plenty to enjoy on the album, highlights include This Building Sucks For A Zombie Apocalypse, Hive Robotics At The Human Zoo and Caught Pissing On The Vatican (I'll be playing it on The Just Some Punk Songs show later today  https://www.facebook.com/events/1321719428176850) but basically if you like one track you'll like 'em all. 

  There's a video to accompany this song so it's the one I'll be posting today. It's called I Think The Sirens Are Coming For Me...
