Spunk welcomes Gold Class to the label, premieres new single ‘Life as a Gun’
PRESS RELEASE:
Spunk is thrilled to welcome Melbourne band Gold Class to the label roster. Today the band unveil their new single ‘Life as a Gun’, with its firing lyrical offering, “You can hold your finger on the trigger.” ‘Life as a Gun’ premiered on RRR and FBi yesterday and can now be streamed via Noisey.
There are few voices of meaningful dissent left in rock music. Even fewer play with the savagery, subtlety and melody of newcomers Gold Class.
Armed with only a handful of songs, Gold Class quickly drew heads to their live shows when they appeared mid-2014, just a couple of months after getting together. Characterised by attacking rhythms, bristling Aus-garage guitar lines and the deep vibrato of singer Adam Curley, the band were soon mixing art-space and basement gigs with national radio play for their debut seven-inch, ‘Michael’.
‘Life as a Gun’ and ‘Michael’ will feature on Gold Class’ forthcoming debut album, to be released later this year on Spunk Records (Australia and New Zealand) and felte (Rest of the World). Stay tuned for more details.
