God Mode - Punk Rock Girlfriend

  


  God Mode (https://www.facebook.com/GodModeHC) are a new diy band with members from Scotland, Canada and Germany. They line up something like this; Jeremy Mogk (vocals), CJ Taylor (guitars & bass) and Mark Watts (guitars). Contributions have also been made by Knakk Panzer, Michael Thorne, Schrekk Panzer and Jeremy Butler. 

  They've just released a debut single which features a lead track that was actually written way back in 1982 for a different band but was never used. Dusted down and resurrected it's about a leather jacketed girl with dyed pink hair who hung around the scene for a while before disappearing into the night. The single also includes an acoustic version of the track, performed by Jeremy Mogk from Toronto hardcore band ASOP (https://asop.bandcamp.com/) plus a "surprise bonus track." 


  With a dark vibe reminding me a little bit of TSOL or The Misfits, this is Punk Rock Girlfriend...
