Kyle was King Tuff long before you knew him, having been born with a rocker’s grin in Brattleboro, Vermont. Don’t laugh at Vermont. Kyle’s love for rock came pure as the water melting off the mountains: from his mother’s tit he sucked Ozzy and Prince, and in his diapers he left traces of Sid Vicious. Ouch.
Kyle and his grimy cronies hatched schemes over steaming paper cups of coffee in the cold New England air: schemes and plans for sounds that were immediate and alive, nostalgic in the most present of tenses. Ruthie shadowed with the drumsticks as Kyle tapped out the beats. Chris filled in the dream with puzzles from his “inverted-tuning” guitar, swung great chops with his severe bass.
The band will be releasing the new single “Subliminal Message” on November 1st.
Sub Pop has also just released a new, free MP3 of album track “2 Shy” below
