Pleasure Mob to release free track through Clash Music magazine

Pleasure Mob release free track "Prisoner" through Clash Music 25th July 2011

Single launch party at the Old Blue Last, London July 26

London based indie punk funk dance hybrid Pleasure Mob are about to release their track "Prisoner" to the masses through music magazine Clash Music.

"Prisoner" is a strange modern pop song; with its tales of sexual submission, it's not for the faint hearted. The track is an appraisal of the weird and wonderful world of sexual misadventure and the fate of the song's central character mirrors some notable celebrity sex tragedies.

The melodies by contrast are sweet and upbeat. The band display an electro-clash of influences that merge a cacophony of spiky beats, rumbling guitars, accapela vocals bleeding as a whole into bold atmospheric synth rock.

To celebrate the launch of the track, Pleasure Mob will be doing a single launch party with Cool For Cats at the Old Blue Last on the 26th July 2011.

Pleasure Mob are London based indie electro-rock band formed in 2009 by Douglas Hall and Nathan Von Boventer.

Playing a mix of New Wave and soulful Indie Electro, Pleasure Mob have had some critical successes with positive reviews and endorsements from blogs and websites including Noise collective, NME and Telegraph.co.uk.

In 2010 they started their own label RMSMB Records and released several songs through distributor AWAL including "So Hard" and "Where's My Money" featuring the voice of Peter Dickson.

They were also included on Centrepoint's Key To Change album release which featured other artists including Ian Brown and Johnny Marr.

Sarah Champion of Absolute Radio is a fan of Pleasure Mob's track Diamonds. Recently stating on The Unsigned Band Review that: "The appeal is instant with this track, experimental / funky / disco / rock with vocals a little Squeeze-esque in places (which is a GREAT thing in my book!)"

Gill Mill of Best Of Myspace, described the band as: "deeper [with] influences that lift this above the usual punk/funk/dance hybrids out there."

Promoter Keir Mills of Bloody Awful Poetry also said of the band: "Combining the pure pop perfection o, with the filthy intelligence of LCD Soundsystem, 3 piece electro rock outfit Pleasure Mob create hand clenching, fist pumping, foot stomping anthems that loom larger than life over the sum of their parts. A blast from the majestical past, where anthemic choruses were sagaciously constructed and expertly executed rather than whimsicaly thrown up to save a sub-standard song, we wholeheartedly expect Pleasure Mob to tear away the floorboards and blast the slats off the roof. Hold on to what you can, and enjoy the ride."

Pleasure Mob have played various gigs across the UK and London including venues such as Barfly, Camden Proud, The Macbeth, The Rhythm Factory, The Garage etc.

In 2010 they were showcased on BBC Introducing and performed their track Diamonds.

In 2011 they signed to The Brave Agency run by Damien Morgan who also looks after well know live and DJ talent like Terry Hall, ex-Smiths Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke, Jez and Andy from Doves, through to Mark Morriss from The Bluetones, Dodgy and current acts Guillemots and Moshi Moshi records.

In May 2011 they will re-release tracks "Where's My Money" and "So Hard" through independent label EmRay Emure Records on the 23rd May 2011. Available digitally through Amazon and other retailers.

They plan to release a free EP through their website late summer feature underground remix sensation 'Diamonds'. It will be available for 6 hours through their website for fans only.

They are currently recording their debut album co-produced by Teitur Arnason from Iceland super group Blindfold.
