Killer Vampire Bat

Garage Flowers have unleashed their killer debut track Vampire Bat. What does this rabid record sound like? Well, imagine Bob Dylan on a motorbike, with The Stooges, Primal Scream and Black Rebel Motorcyle Club pursuing him down Highway 61 in the 1970 Dodge Challenger from the road movie, Vanishing Point. And then some.....
Garage Flowers is the name of the new band formed by ex-Hurricane 1 vocalist and rhythm guitarist, Alex Lowe. Fronted by gravel-voiced Lowe (think Faces-era Rod Stewart meets vintage Bob Dylan) Garage Flowers are a classic rock and roll act, influenced by The Rolling Stones, Iggy and The Stooges, Primal Scream, Stone Roses, The Who, Johnny Cash, Wilco, The Kinks, REM and The Beachboys. As influences go, they really don't get any better. In an era of corporate indie bed-wetters, Garage Flowers are a good time band you can fall in love with. They have great record collections and cool shoes, and soon they'll be sleeping with your mother's sister, baby! (That's a line from their Kinks-inspired tune, Where To Begin).
This is just the beginning for Garage Flowers - they already have their debut album in the can. Just wait 'til you hear the gentleman thug anthem, Lost My Dog To A Bitch, a cheeky '60s styled garage rocker that sounds like Parklife-era Blur having a fight with The Small Faces in a mod club. If you like the sound of that, then you'll also love the silly sci-fi pop of Phantom Powered Flies (Iggy Pop produced by Joe Meek) and the beautiful ballad, Old Brand New - man, it's so gorgeous it could have come off Pet Sounds.I hope we've whetted your appetite, but for now you'll have to make do with the fang-tastic Vampire Bat - guaranteed to get you in a flap!
