Known for their characteristically frothing-at-the-mouth live performances that Seattle's The Stranger called, "raw, raucous, ramshackle rock with youthful vigor that sometimes threatened to spill over into dissonant chaos," AUDACITY along with Crystal Antlers (who themselves are known for their highly charged live performances) will be providing for all those in attendance the sweatiest two hours of their lives this winter.
Audacity's latest debut full length release, Power Drowning, which Vice Magazine described as "rambunctious, slop-pop garage [that] wobbles like shopping cart wheels at terminal velocity" was recorded and mixed in under a week at Costa Mesa, CA's surreptitiously legendary Distillery-used also by the Seeds, Mika Miko, Rocket From The Crypt and the Black Lips (who flew to California specifically to work there)-and released on vinyl earlier this year by Anaheim garage-pop label Burger. Power Drowning's fifteen songs collide the Adolescents' blue album and Redd Kross' Born Innocent with the supercharged teenage melodrama of the Shangri-Las and the tossed-off swagger of the Sweet or Alice Cooper-before his complexion fell apart.
