Formed in 1997, BRUTAL DELUXE quickly gained recognition for taking to the stage barefooted, bedecked in their tribalistic warpaint and pounding their audience into submission with their dynamic live performance. They were signed in 1999 to Dream Catcher records and released their debut album "Divine Head" in early 2000.It received wide critical acclaim and the band was hailed as a great British hope.
The band toured through 2000 with the likes of Raging Speedhorn,Kill II This and Napalm Death and received great reviews...the future looked secure. Things however, didnt quite go to plan.
BRUTAL DELUXE started 2001 with a headline tour through the UK, culminating in a filmed live show for MTV2 in London. Just prior to this show the band suffered a serious blow when all their equipment was stolen.This brought to a head strained relationships in the band, the end result being the departure of bassist, Toad.
New blood was soon found and the band managed to move forward with the help of Marshall amplification and Richmo custom drums. They performed to 12,000 people at the Bulldog bash with The Wildhearts and Feeder and continued to tour through 2001. The band then recorded their second album in 2002; "Mistah Kurtz...he dead". The album received good reviews but through lack of promotion it hardly made it to the shops. Disenchanted, the band split from Dream Catcher records and decided to take stock, rally the troops and basically travel the world.
BRUTAL DELUXE's approach is one of extreme dynamics. One minute gently stroking your cheek, the next kicking you squarely in the nuts. They lull the audience with passages of melancholic quiet and then explode in your face like John Holmes! .....Brutal and yet, somehow...deluxe.
BRUTAL DELUXE have now returned with renewed vigour and new tracks recorded at the band's own studio.The songs reflect the band's personal and collective struggles, wrapped in the experiences of their travels.
They're back and this time they're taking no prisoners! In space no one can hear you scream. Be afraid..be very afraid etc etc. Basically, balls to all that bollox..... enjoy the new tracks.BUY OUR NEW TRAX AT www.loudmusicstore.com
