Search - Brimstone Butterfly :: Brimstone Butterfly: Normality Killed the Cat

From the garage rock sensibility of The Hives and the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs to the glam pop of Franz Ferdinand and the Killers, there has been no shortage of exciting new talent. The latest addition to this music club comes from Denmark in the form of Brimstone Butterfly. Culling their influences from such luminaries as Mott the Hoople and early David Bowie, Brimstone Butterfly also tips its hat to early new wave mixed with today?s appealing pop-punk sound. Imagine taking all your favourite records from various time periods and mashing them together in a blender. In essence, a very lustful hodgepodge of rock and pop music styles updated for 2005. So it makes sense that they kick off their latest release "Normality Killed the Cat" with the line "Say, what happened to your lust for life?" The production idea behind Normality Killed The Cat was to keep it simple and raw, while the lyric universe evolves in and around normality and the "ordinary" life. The place where curiosity, inclination to learn, love and zest for life have been replaced by materialism, boredom, narrow mindedness and even cynicism, as we zap the TV between war and sports. A soundtrack for 2005 indeed!
