The five-track EP will see it’s release on iTunes, Spotify and all good digital outlets – pre-orders go live today at iTunes, with punters getting previous single ‘Just Started’ right now.
New track Culpa is the second single cut from the EP It’s a track that shows off the brilliant songwriting skills of the trio and the phenomenal EP production by Tom Larkin and Samuel K at Studios in the City in Melbourne.
‘Culpa’ follows hot on the heels of cracking track ‘Just Started’ which saw awesome success here and abroad. Triple J spins on Weekends with Gemma Pike and Home & Hosed with Dom Alessio and on triple j unearthed, as well as spins on Jane Gazzo’s Triple M Homegrown, the Ozmade show across the Grant radio network AND full rotation on NZ Commercial station THE ROCK, saw the song take them to new heights.
The band have enjoyed a spate of great support slots in reaction to the release of Just Started and is only continuing to pay dividends, picking up supports with Harts, DZ Deathrays, Dallas Frasca and Rival Fire – adding to their impressive previous resume – Kiwi rock-royalty Shihad,Grenadiers, Sydonia, King of the North, Jericco, Nine Sons of Dan, Sub Atari Knives and more.
With Tom Larkin (Shihad) in the producer’s chair and Samuel K (The Getaway Plan, Storm The Sky) on the mixing console, the “Creamy Crunch” production of the EP nods it’s head to bands like Arctic Monkeys and Kasabian, while maintaining the band’s trademark sound. It harkens back to the great rock artists of yesteryear, while never seeming dated or stale.
Drummer Antonio couldn’t speak more highly of working out of Studios in the City with Shihad’s Tom Larkin. “Tom was all about the big picture. Even when we were getting caught up worrying about the little details, he always knew where the each song was going, even if we didn’t. He always knew how the record would come together in the end.”
“The Studios In The City has a great culture about it. The studio has a great vibe, especially amazing for a rock band like us with such talented engineers/producers (Jon Grace and Samuel K) who really helped us get over the line.
The Iron Eye’s ‘Foreign Bodies’ EP will be available online from November 18th and will be available for pre-order right now at iTunes.
