This two-piece Brooklyn band has more street cred than you can shake a stick at, and for good reason. Consisting of Madeline Davy (Octopi NYC) on the microphone and John Pugh (formally of !!!) also on microphone, Free Blood has got some serious, serious heat on the mic and mixing board. Hey, really, who needs other band members when you're rockin' a style this damn hard?

"Never Hear Surf Music Again" is an unpredictable druggy number, a mangled hybrid of Beatles-esque melodies fused angrily with a Butthole Surfers song. It's followed by the steaming mayhem of "Quick and Painful," a raucous affair that delivers a swift kick to the jewels. On the flip, the Barfly boys stretch things out a bit with a nine-minute Walter-Gibbons-style disco remix of the title track.

After tearing the roof off and burning down the place with their mind-crunching sound, this band is ready to clear out any venue at a moment's notice. Free Blood, coming to a dirty warehouse near you...

On the A-side, the hypnotic vocals and melancholy rhythms of "Royal Family," accompanied by its haunting piano stabs and pounding drums, make for a unique, futuristic pop song. The Brothers then strip it down to its bare essentials for a more four-on-the-floor club version, creating a big-room sound with throbbing synths and layered vocals-- and with the original production on "Royal Family" so outstanding, who better to do the remix?

The flip, "Grumpy," includes tuff cello stabs and screeching vocal effects over a raucous disco break. Warped and funky is one way to describe it. UK disco DJ and re-edit legend Greg Wilson closes the single with his own take on the track.

"Free Blood are a most peculiar band, making a kind of untethered electro rock mess that sprawls across tracks..."

First up is the club-friendly "Parangatang." Broken house beats with increasingly hectic vibes are accompanied by an old-time piano melody as the duo continues their onslaught of head-scratchingly unique pop singles that maintain a fierce rhythmic consistency.

The original is followed by Tummy Touch Records' Tim "Love" Lee's remix. Lee strips away all but the essentials and adds a heady analog synth melody in place of most of the vocals, creating a proper dance dub version.

Finally, Scotty Coats and Wes The Mes offer a punk-funk version of "Weekend Condition" that has risen to the status of "best remix ever made" at Rong's office. Super bad club music with a crafty, superb bass-line to drive it.

All these singles and more will comprise the forthcoming Free Blood debut album to be released in the fall.
