A perfect summer record and one classic NWOBHM scorcher! BITCHES SIN rode in on the first wave and apart from this 7″ reached their peak with the song “Strangers on the Shore” (on the mandatory “Heavy Metal Heroes” sampler). The fresh air was lost a bit on the subsequent releases, I think, but nevertheless these two songs should be your perfect soundtrack to sitting on the window cill with a cig and a beer and a smile on the face.
Buy all BITCHES SIN stuff from the band directly here. You might consider checking out the site in detail as it has more photos of the cover model Sharalee, who obviously likes big, long geetars. Is that her sin? We’ll never know.

Good to see you back on board. You’ve been quite quiet. And yeah, one fantastic little record. The a-side riff is a killer. Forgot to mention a friend of mine had a yellow vinyl copy of this – one of the few colored wax Neat records.

Thanks for stopping by, Ian – and thanks for the music! So the band has never seen the yellow vinyl variations? I will try and track down a copy.

We’re recording vocals today at Chris Tsangarides’ studio nr Dover England for our new album ‘The Rapture’ sounding great.

Well, he tried but Contador was obviously stronger than the thought. Nice gesture of Contador, to let Andy win the stage though.

Great stuff! But I agree, some of their stuff is even better (Strangers, Down the Road,) and that stuff isn’t Towel Around the Neck Metal.

But you hear the Towel around the Neck-Metal parts in these two songs too, don’t you?

Definitely! Actually, on second thought there are some parts in Down the Road, too- the verse parts in particular.

good to see the jim jones record up top. i never hear anyone mention them. i like “trust me” a little better than “contrafusion” but both are good.

I was thinking of posting “trust me” soon. I met the guy who released the CD incl. “contrafusion” yesterday and he gave me a copy of it. I heard it the first time today and was very very impressed. As impressed, as I was in 1986 when I heard “trust me” and immediately sent an interview request to the guys.

“trust me” is definitely something people should hear. i love the downtuned sludge sound of it.
