Krush Puppies

The incredible Krush Puppies are announcing debut EP Love Kills The Demons on 3rd March, plus sharing the title track as a single. They’re also announcing that they’ve signed to Holm Front, the label run by Sports Team and home to Walt Disco, Ugly, Personal Trainer, and more.
 

The single ‘Love Kills The Demons’, is about letting go of the bad to make room for the good. It’s an acknowledgment from Alexa of the night terrors she had for years, then she met someone and overnight it went away, due to the soppy nature of feeling safe sleeping next to him. It’ll have a video too which I’m just waiting on.
 

Meeting in the queue for Pets at Home on London’s Old Kent Road, Alexa Daly, Jenny Wells and Jess McGill, are three pet owners with a shared taste for experimental post-punk, started playing about with the instruments they had lying around. Through a serendipitous phone call a couple of years later, drummer Heather Britton joined the band with a multi-instrumentalist gift, which glued the four together.
 

The video was originally based on Jean witnessing her Mum's adult baptism in a swimming pool, followed shortly by her standing ecstatically soaking in the car park, trying to find her keys. The priest then gave a sermon using a cheeseburger as an analogy for the body of Christ, eating it immediately after. We went on to try symbolise some kind of cleansing process, a feeling of peace cos that’s what the song's about, but none of us are particularly godly so we thought about killing off the priest, but we didn’t want to start an accidental cult. We liked the idea of an underlying eery viewing of the song, you know when you watch all those old 60’s tv music shows like ‘The Porter Wagner Show’ and everyone has this disconnected yet possesed glaze in their eye, that says ‘what the fuck am I doing but I'm not going to question it’. We kept saying when we were recording we wanted it to sound like we're a Christian family band, recording in their cousin's basement. Then we asked ourselves If ‘The Shaggs’ had made a music video, what would it have been like? If they were using the cheapest video camera Argos sells. Resources permitting, it turned out pretty ‘Wolfpack’ and we tried to create a sense of claustrophobia with obviously home-made props and costumes. Plus we had about £30 for the whole budget. We filmed everything ourselves at heather's (our drummer) house and used mainly a head torch as our sole light source. It was quite funny, Heather had just moved in and we turned up to her front door, where she was meeting her neighbour for the first time, dressed head to toe in christian gear, adorning a giant homemade crucafix.
