WACO announce new album ‘Rock Spirit Absolute Joy’
WACO have announced a new album!
Titled Rock Spirit Absolute Joy, the upcoming album from the London-based punk band is their third full-length record and is scheduled to be released in September this year, via Venn Records.
Produced by Steve Sears (aka the King of Watford™), the band’s forthcoming third album was recorded at Monolith Studios; “the best heavy metal studio in London” effuse the band.
“Steve managed to get the very best out of us,” they say of the process. “We’ve created all of our releases with him because we just love working with him so much. He is a talented, compassionate and supportive bloke, and he welcomes our freewheeling, excitable and sometimes confusing approach to songwriting. Above all, he truly understands what we’re trying to do with this band.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, WACO have released a new music video for new single Barry Gibb Was My Landlord. Speaking about the song, guitarist James Robinson says, “Barry Gibb Was My Landlord is our ode to an icon. Barry isn’t just a great songwriter, he’s a pretty good landlord, too. When I lived in Manchester, he made sure the rent on the old BEE GEES childhood home was affordable for skint musicians. In a cruel, capitalist world that stifles any creativity it can’t commercialise, it’s hard for artists just to stay alive. Barry is one of the good guys. Cheers mate. We’ve put you on the guest list.”
