Biblical to Release The City that Always Sleeps on Tee Pee Records
There ain’t much as reliable in this unreliable-ass universe as Tee Pee Records knowing their shit when it comes to picking up heavy psych bands. The long-running New York-based imprint has announced intentions toward releasing the second full-length from Toronto outfit Biblical, and a September release date has been set for The City that Always Sleeps, which follows behind 2014’s first full-length, Monsoon Season, as well as their prior 2011 self-titled EP (review here).
Goes without saying that’s a ways off, so there’s no audio yet or anything like that, but keep an ear out. It’s been a while since I saw their name kicking around, but it would seem Biblical were biding their time and they’re ready to roll out over the course of this summer and into the autumn leading up to the release. You’ll note as well the Comet Control connection. Never hurts.
Good stuff:
BIBLICAL Signs with Tee Pee Records
Toronto Dark Psych Gang to Release New LP This September
Toronto heavy rock band BIBLICAL has signed with NYC independent label Tee Pee Records. The group will release its sophomore LP, The City That Always Sleeps, advanced as “a deep dive into sludgy psych rock that explores spaces, textures and tones beyond the outer limits”, this September.
“We’ve been fans of Tee Pee for ages,” says bassist / vocalist Nick Sewell. “The label has put out so many awesome records, it really is the perfect fit and we can’t wait to share our new LP. It’s got all things that you want in a BIBLICAL record: ‘Something old, something new. Something borrowed, something blue.'”
Formed in 2010, BIBLICAL is a hard rock band with psych undertones that creates catchy, heavy songs that unfold rather surprisingly. In addition to Sewell, the quartet features in its ranks guitar / synth player Andrew Scott (both Scott and Sewell played with Death From Above drummer Sebastien Grainger in his Sebastien Grainger & The Mountains project), lead guitarist Matt Mclaren and drummer Jay Anderson (also of COMET CONTROL). Motivation for the band’s name is rooted in the “Ghostbusters” quote from Peter Venkman: “This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions!”
Before and since the 2014 release of its full-length debut, Monsoon Season, BIBLICAL has toured and / or rocked stages alongside DFA1979, Eagles of Death Metal, Fucked Up, Kyuss Lives! and Red Fang among many more.
