DEVILISH PRESLEY "Disgraceland" CD.
(Official Website)
This is not the demonic duo's new album but their first one released in 2003. DEVILISH PRESLEY already had this glam/pop sound mixed to horror/sci-fi rock themes. When I talk about pop here, I mainly think about a band like PLACEBO (especially because of the vocals) but the female backing vocals gives the band their own, unique identity. There are some really good songs on this album and I can't believe I didn't hear about it when it came out 2 years ago! Just listen to "Cover Version", "She's Not America", "Alien Turf" or the beautiful acoustic ballad "Pin Cushion Girl" and you'll know what I mean. The T-REX influence was also already a big part of the band (the guitar riff in "Saturday Night Satellite") and I won't complain about it. Now get ready for their upcoming album!

DEVILISH PRESLEY "Hammer Horror Glamour" Promo CD.
(Official Website)
This is a single from their forthcoming album. This song is very catchy and is an interesting mix of death rock and glam rock (the guitar riff reminds me of the almighty T-REX) with female vocals and fun/horror rock lyrics in which you'll hear about all your favorite rockstars. This will sure make the dead come back to life and dance! I can't wait to hear more 'cause I'm a little frustrated with just one song!
