!!!!!!

Once again, the US has produced a band that could make all the difference. The Sacramento / Brooklyn based seven-piece outfit with the bizarre name !!! (pronounced chk chk chk and not exclamation exclam…) comes touted as THE hot band for this year and no, there isn’t any exaggeration in these words... this is truly inspired stuff.

Currently igniting dancefloors around the globe, they unleash their exhilarating, ecstatic punk/funk full of politicised vocals through the debut album 'Louden Up Now' (released on June 7). They now continue their run of killer singles (after ‘Me And Giuliani Down By The School Yard (A True Story)’ and ‘Pardon My Freedom’) with the single 'Hello? Is This Thing On?' which comes out August 2 through Warp Records.

!!! will also perform in the dance tent at this year’s Reading (27 August) and Leeds (28 August) festivals, before returning in September for a full UK tour. They also hit London’s Fabric nightclub in July for an exclusive club performance on July 17. Stay tuned to Gigwise for an interview with the band!
