Hotly-tipped (many years ago, anyway) tremolo rockers My Vitriol release some long-awaited – three years, to be precise – new material later this month.
‘War of the Worlds' will be available as a download only from next Monday (June 11th), with a four-track EP, 'A Pyrrhic Victory', to follow via Xtra Mile Recordings a fortnight later (June 25th). As well as the aforementioned 'War Of The Worlds', the EP will also contain three brand new songs: ‘Lord Knows How I've Tried’, ‘Toy Soldiers’ and ‘ElectroWar (the Son of Robot remix)’. The band's second album is expected to follow shortly.
In the meantime, My Vitriol have confirmed a headline show at the London Astoria on September 29th, and will also be playing at the following festivals:
June
9 Download (Dimebag Darrell Stage)
July
13 Guilfest (Rock Sound Cave)
sept 29?
will i go? i don't know.
whyyyyy do they never play anywhere other than down south?! argh
new material???
i was anticipating the next chinese democracy
this must be a joke right?
they neeed to...
take some of those ads/shit off their myspace. nearly had an eppy.
three years?
try five! moodswings was 2002..
laziest band in the world...
at least axl gets out for gigs/lobster throwing parties...
I mean what has Som been living off all this time? don't think the last one sold THAT well...!
no, it probably didn't
so maybe he had to get a shitty office job to make ends meet, like the rest of us.
oh no, he was just keep you hanging on as a wind up...?!
muppet.
even though theyve left us hanging for ages
im still a fan, and look forward to hearing anything new off these guys more than most of the new releases being thrown around lately.
...
Why?
war of the worlds
is awful...
Hardly a great come-back after all this time...
from what I remember
they were shit the first time around
aaaaagh!
what a waste of a promising band. War of the Worlds is ok, but they should have had a follow up about 4 years ago...who cares now?
Quite a few people still care
which is probably why they played a sold out gig at the koko back in november, and a blinding gig it was. Its so good to see them back as they are so infinetly more interesting than al the crap trendy indie or emo that seems to be so prevalent of late.
including me
I played Finelines to death and then some. But my point is...enough people to keep them in a career? (that said they seem to have survived on nothing for the last 5 years!) There's a difference to selling out the Koko and getting your album on sale at Tescos which seems to be the pre-requisite for making a living playing music nowadays. I wish them well but the window of opportunity looks closed to me.
They were AMAZING at KOKO
one of the best gigs i went to last year, that and Death Cab @ Astoria.
Thing is, why shouldnt they be big?
Nine Black Alps seem to do ok last time round and they are a poor man's MV, the tat new song was "hottest record in world" on Zane Lowes show last week. Rubbish
Dogs have a second album out, its not like they are massive but i still saw the first hit the top 40, or was that my eyes decieving me?
Plus, take into account Pigeon Detectives, Fratellis, Travis (who once had promise), The View, HelloGoodBye, Maroon 5, Twang, Snow Patrol, Mika, Kaiser Chiefs, Fray, and lots more seem to prosper out of being totally fucking shite
Travis
first album was pretty good back in the day.
Tied to the 90's - pop genius
U16 Girls - pretty damn good
All i wanna do is rock - awesome
i loved that album and listening to it on my sony casette walkman whilst doing my paper-round
why shouldn't they be big? because...
a) The glassy-eyed vapid scenester kids won't have heard of them and won't get it
b) The emo kids only want MCR clones or raging thrash/screamo which MV ain't
c) Life is patently unfair, the shite do indeed prosper and the more worthy and deserving bands rarely get the breaks
d) Their once thriving fan-base are now older and probably too busy buying IKEA furniture and arranging dinner-parties to fund their return
e) They left it way, way, way too late.
All depressed now. Glad to hear the gig was good *sniff*
