CPC Gangbangs - punk rock from Montreal (MP3, SXSW, tour)
by BrooklynVegan Mike
DOWNLOAD: CPC Gangbangs – Teenage Crimewave (MP3)
These four lads fuse garage rock and anarchic punk flare into short, riotous outbursts.
The usual suspects, proto-punk explorers like MC5, Stooges and Rocket From the Tombs, get the nod on songs like “Gone Black” and “Coke Blues,” but CPC Gangbangs bring a new sense of heaviosity that tips the scales with Hawkwind-styled oscillations, obscure psychedelic references and even a nod to Goth gods Sister of Mercy on the unlikely album opener, “Jeff Starship.” [Montreal Mirror]
It isn’t groundbreaking, but CPC Gangbangs‘s energy and delivery make them an addictive group. They’ve built a name in Montreal the old fashioned way – constant shows and word of mouth. They have a devoted following and I believe they’re poised to spread their name outward bound this year. Tour dates and a video below…..
