The Fleas - The Phone Call

 

  A couple of years ago I posted Heartbreaker, a new song by a 3 piece UK band I'd stumbled across called The Fleas (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2016/08/the-fleas-heart-breaker.html). They returned earlier this month with an album titled Flea In Your Ear, it's on the always reliable Grow Your Own Records (the diy label run by Anthrax UK) and you can order the limited edition transparent pink 10" vinyl or the digital version here : https://anthraxuk.bandcamp.com/album/the-fleas-a-flea-in-your-ear

  Fronted by Emily Condon (vocals/guitar/uke/sax) they give off "raw, angry punk vibes" and are sure to go dow a storm with anyone who reads this blog. The album is 11 tracks of boisterous, catchy punk tunage. Song titles include the impressively titled Shut Up And Have A Wank and the critique of the current fashion for the mainstream to value style over substance when it comes to music (Popstar). You can get more info on the band here :  https://www.facebook.com/thefleas1/

  This is the 2nd track on the album, it's about all those time wasting nusiance calls we all have to put up with from time to time. The Phone Call...

The Fleas - Heart Breaker

  I'm sure we all have those moments when you're browsing for new music, randomly clicking links, listening to music more in hope than expectation, and then BOOM! You come across something that slaps you round the face and sends a shiver down your spine. Today's update features one of those kinda songs.

  The Fleas are a relatively new band (they formed in the Spring of 2015), they're from Brighton and Hove and after a line up change earlier this year comprise of Emily Condon, Karlos Collins and Hugo Beynon. They announced themselves with a name your price demo and followed it up with the 7 track Live At The Windmill release. You can snap up both of them here : http://thefleas1.bandcamp.com/.

  Good as those were, they've come on in leaps and bounds if their debut "proper" single is anything to go by. This is going to end up being one of 2016's best eps so make sure you check it out : https://anthraxuk.bandcamp.com/album/the-fleas.

  She's an evil bitch with an appetite for despair who'll tear people apart just because she can, and what's more she doesn't give a shit. This is Heart Breaker. Be prepared to be mightily impressed......
