The Chromatics (not to be confused with the Seattle group or the Southern country rock ensemble of the same name) have released two singles featuring their brand of new wave disco-punk on the Troubleman Unlimited imprint: Healer/Witness and the limited-edition "Nite" 12" are back but this time on troubleman's kid brother Italians Do It Better. "They played kid sister to Glass Candy on the hyped (and rad) Italians Do it Better label compilation, After Dark, but this record is a star turn." - Pr   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Featuring current members of The Vogue (Soiled Doves) and The Blood Brothers, this Seattle based trio puts together a post-punk sound that can be likened to P.I.L. or Suicide. The songs on this 7" were recorded by only one member of the band, but now that they are touring they are a three piece. Arty and rocking.

VINYL FORMAT. Seattle's CHROMATICS follow-up their recent split 7" EP with their debut full-length release. Recorded in Portland in early 2002, and produced by Jonny Jewel of Glass Candy & The Shattered Theatre, "Chrome Rats..." chronicles this explosive, sexually-charged punk band's maturation -- and subsequent implosion. Three-fourths of the band bailed out when this thing was "in the can," leaving vocalist/songwriter Adam to pick up the pieces. Thirteen hi-fi tracks of writhing, claustrophobic venom that   [ read more ]

Chromatics return with their second full-length album, "Plaster Hounds," the follow-up to their recent Ice Hatchets single (which unveiled the re-worked lineup of original vocalist/guitarist Adam Miller and new bassist/vocalist Nat Sahlstrom). The dark, ever-turbulent combo have temporarily recruited renowned percussionist Ron Avila (GET HUSTLE, HOLY MOLAR and formerly ANTIOCH ARROW and FINAL CONFLICT fame) to round out their swirling, hypnotic punk dubs and help "steer the band into rhythmic bliss" that th   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. At the start of the year, Chromatics wowed us with ethereal new vocalist Ruth on "In The City." Now we have the longer, sexier and obviously therefore better 12" version where the sinister strings take us on a journey further down the concrete river to deserted, shadowy and rain soaked citadels. LP Shining Violence is so close now that we can taste its neon blue metallic shine. -20jazzfunkgreats.co.uk

This 12"/CD single teaser for the Chromatics' 2006 full-length features the Italo-Europop-influenced "Nite," complete with a cappella and instrumental versions. This track alone is well worth the price of admission, especially for fans of the Cybernetic Broadcasting System and any production from Dutch electro labels such as Viewlexxx and Clone. The second side features "The Guest," a mediocre attempt at a post-punk ballad, and "Glass Slipper," another stylish midtempo ro   [ read more ]
