The Pleasure Dome - If Meaning

  

  Bristol band The Pleasure Dome (https://www.facebook.com/thepleasxuredome) are back today with a rather lively new single. It's only been a few months since I featured the title track from their Chaos Chaos Revolution ep (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2022/04/the-pleasure-dome-chaos-chaos-revolution.html) but they're not content to sit back and bask in the glow of numerous rave reviews. 

  As well as the new single, they've lined up a series of gigs, including their first ever headline show in London...

  Titled If Meaning, their latest offering fairly barrels along in an energetically pleasing alt rock/post-punk kinda way. This is the kind of band that I find myself wishing would come on the radio during the day when I'm at work and Alexa is tuned into Radio X. Alas that station seems to think daytime listeners only like shite like Sam Fender and Blossoms mixed with golden oldies. Maybe one day they'll realise the good new stuff is hiding just below the surface. You can find it here :  https://thepleasuredome.bandcamp.com/track/if-meaning

The Pleasure Dome - Chaos Chaos Revolution

  

  The Pleasure Dome (https://www.facebook.com/thepleasxuredome) are from Bristol, they've been together since 2019 and they feature a line up of Bobby Spender (Guitar/Vocals), Loz Fancourt (Bass), Harrison Newman (Guitar) & and Bert Elvin (Drums). They've been drip feed releasing a number of tracks online, one of which (Do You Know Better) featured in the Just Some Punk Songs Top 100 songs of 2021. Now they're back with a debut 4 track ep.

  It's called Chaos Chaos Revolution and after listening to it I think it's fair to say that it confirms that Idles aren't the only rock band from Bristol worth your time. They're a band that will appeal to grizzled old punks like myself and to the new kids on the block. On this ep they discuss "the political landscape, overcoming mental health issues and austerity hit small towns." 

  So I'd already heard and loved Do You Know Better, now I'm happy to say that the rest of the ep lives up to that high standard. All the tracks are quite lengthy which gives them room to breath but happily the energy levels never flag. You can get the ep on a couple of limited edition cassettes or as a digital download : https://thepleasuredome.bandcamp.com/album/chaos-chaos-revolution

 This is the title track, it's called Chaos Chaos Revolution...
