TIGERTRAP RECORDS
A reassuringly awkward sounding noisy guitar outfit, Infants make music that sounds like a C86 incarnation of the Ping Pong Bitches, all lo-fi production, jerky melodies and raging attitude.
New single the FRIEND PASTE 7" is an upfront slice of indie-pop goodness that sounds like a drunken brawl between a ZX Spectrum, The Blood Brothers and Bis, the kind of thing that wouldn't have sounded out of place on John Peel's Festive Fifty any year between 1985 and 1995. But dated and spiky in a great way, like a long lost classic just unearthed and unleashed upon a nation of unsuspecting fresh faced new indie kids.
A brilliantly off kilter and skewed pop song for these long hot summer months, the FRIEND PASTE 7" could well mark the start of something very special indeed for Infants, a band demanding of your care and attention.
BIOGRAPHY
Infants are a multi-national schizoid punk-rave phenomenon. Hailing from Oslo, Tokyo and London, the band members were brought up on noise, electronica, drum 'n' bass and a whole lot in between.
