Brace yourselves, Death Monkey Records fam! Local Swansea outfit, Zed Motel, are poised to make a splash with their debut EP, “Turn of the Tide”, arriving on Friday, March 22nd, 2024.
This highly anticipated release marks a new chapter for the band, not just in terms of fresh material, but also their evolving sound. Joining forces with Swansea bass legend Ed Purcell, Zed Motel has crafted a collection of tracks that promises a potent blend of raw energy and introspective songwriting.
Fans have already gotten a taste of what’s to come with the singles “Shadow Shapes” and “Rivers”. “Shadow Shapes”, a stomping garage rock anthem with a psychedelic twist, showcased the band’s dynamic range, while “Rivers” revealed a newfound depth in their songwriting, hinting at the sonic maturity fostered by their collaboration with Purcell.
To celebrate the official release of “Turn of the Tide”, Zed Motel will be throwing a huge album launch party at Hangar 18 Music Venue on Friday, March 22nd. This won’t be your average record release bash – the night will be a full-on Death Monkey Records showcase, featuring a killer lineup of label mates:
- James T. Morgan – The eloquently sublime alt-folk troubadour.
- Kikker – Fresh off their electrifying performance at the Swansea Arena, Kikker is ready to bring the chaos back to one of Swansea’s finest grassroots venues.
Don’t miss this chance to witness Zed Motel’s triumphant return, surrounded by the vibrant community of Death Monkey Records artists.
Mark your calendars for March 22nd and get ready to ride the “Turn of the Tide” with Zed Motel!
