'Bikesploitation' Band The Death Wheelers Channel 80's B Movies For New Album
Canadian 'bikesploitation' band The Death Wheelers describe their music as "inspired by rock & sleaze" and cite the following bands as influences: Davie Allan & The Arrows, The Wild Angels, Psychomania, and The Cramps
They've released the video for the title track of their next album, "Divine Filth", rife with fictional 80s sci-fi/horror film tropes, and the entire album is presented as if it's the soundtrack to a film from those genres, like their first album.
The album was recorded entirely in 48 hours in a live setting. Here's the "plot" of that hypothetical film:
"It's 1982. Spurcity is run-down. The crime rate is up and so is drug use. A new kind of kick has hit the streets and it ain't pretty. DTA, a powerful and highly addictive hallucinogenic drug, is transforming its loyal citizens into undead trash. Its users experience an indescribable high, but it leaves them rotting away within days, craving human flesh. No one knows who is dealing this new potent drug, but rumour has it that the motorcycle cult, The Death Wheelers, is behind this concoction. Could this be the end of civilization as we know it? What is motivating this group of psychotic individuals?"
Divine Filth will be available on LP, CD and download on September 11th, 2020 via RidingEasy Records. Pre-orders are available at www.RidingEasyRecs.com.
