CUSSES' SELF-TITLED DEBUT OUT OCTOBER 30th



EAST COAST TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED


[Cusses_general1_Andrew Brohead]

NEW YORK, NY, October 24, 2012-Alternative Rock trio CUSSES will release their self-titled debut album on October 30 via their own label, HA! Records. The 10 track LP features fierce vocals from powerhouse front-woman Angel Bond alongside the explosive sounds from drummer Brian Lackey and guitarist Bryan Harder, and includes the  MTV-approved, single "Worst Enemy.  CUSSES will also embark on a string of east coast tours next month (dates below)!

"We made this record for everyone that wants to carry on the ritual of listening to straight rock and roll, from beginning to end," says rock-goddess-in-the-making, Bond.  "It's the most 'sound' three people can make," adds Lackey. "We made this record with an honest approach. We didn't add any session players in the recording process and when we play these songs live, every sound you hear comes from the three of us."

Their guitar driven, fuzzed-out brand of music reminds you of The Runaways meets The Ramones or Siouxsie and the Banshees meets Jet, or even Pat Benatar with some heavy handed riot grrrl sass. It is impossible to come away with any other conclusion than this: Cusses are bringing back real, effortless, speaker-blasting rock & roll.  A band that would be right at home taking center stage at CBGB.  Check out the video for their single "Worst Enemy" HERE<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AByjep3r4AU>.

Produced by Dan Hannon (Manchester Orchestra), Cusses is a relentlessly engaging collection of edgy, refreshing rock. Bond's wistful vocals cut brilliantly through strong, unyielding drum beats and commanding guitar riffs while the layered guitar parts played by Harder eliminate the need for a bassist, reminiscent of 90's grunge era bands. The album features the hard-hitting, high voltage lead single "Worst Enemy", the breezier, misleadingly sunny sounding "Blood Everywhere" and the anthemic "Don't Give In" featuring the added talents of Manchester Orchestra's Andy Hull, taking on co-writing responsibilities with Bond.

After being introduced through mutual friends in Los Angeles , Bond and Lackey  moved from Los Angeles in 2009, where they worked in the art department for print and film together, to Savannah, GA in order to follow their passion for making music and performing.  A meeting with Lackey's long time friend and previous bandmate-Harder (they opened for post-hardcore legends Fugazi in their last band together!)-would solidify the band.  And CUSSES was born, playing their first show in February 2010.
