SCREAMING RECORDS presents: Something’s rotten in the state of Denmark, and it’s called THE HITCHCOCKS THE HITCHCOCKS. In just 4 years the band has proven to be “BLOOD WILL FOLLOW” the Danish punk rock entity to follow closely. Format: 12” vinyl album The 4 band members emerge from very different musical backgrounds and seemingly that serves the band just right. With past and present bands in Catalogue no.: REASON-002 (regular edition of 475 copies) various scenes such as death metal, crust punk, pop-punk and hardcore the REASON-002-X (limited edition of 25 copies) band is capable of producing both a unique sound and imagery by combining their somewhat different musical influences. Release date: Friday the 18 th of June 2010 THE HITCHCOCKS started out in early 2006 as a trio having a more punkabilly take on the horror punk genre; at this stage using a double bass. But Track list : within a little over a year the band wisely settled for the line-up known today 01: Werewolf and with a strict focus on the genre they master and perfect – tight melodic 02: The Fallen Ones punk rock with obvious references to horror punk, old school punk and street 03: Lust For Blood 04: Cold Blooded Killers punk. 05: Renegade As a live band THE HITCHCOCKS were soon a force to be reckoned with. 06: Rise From The Dead Highly successful local shows around Denmark reassured the possibility of 07: House Of The Dead taking these activities far beyond the Danish borders was as good as any. A short 08: Radioactive 09: Space Invaders German tour stint in 2007 served as a tester and quickly established contacts all 10: A Bomb over mainland Europe for future tours. 11: Dead To Me So in 2008 the band went on a European headliner tour that included Germany, 12: Blood Will Follow Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, Austria and Denmark. Important to note is that 13: UFO 14: Locked And Loaded this was still on the band’s first demo CD put out in late 2007! + BONUS MATERIAL! That tour raised interest with Denmark’s biggest band, VOLBEAT, who were quick to invite THE HITCHCOCKS to play with them on their sold out national tour in late 2008. A chance unheard of for a demo band and naturally they were quick to jump to the opening. With their debut album entitled “Blood Will Follow”, THE HITHCOCKCS are now on the prowl, convinced they will take themselves to the next level. “Blood Will Follow” offers 14+ punk rock anthems, each one perfectly crafted and standout. Filled with aggression, whoa oh backing vocals, genre cross-over references and a lyrical content that draws heavily on the horror comic-book style, THE HITCHCOCKS are creating their own playpen and craving attention!
