ACTING STRANGE – Scottish Trio Tackels ‘HOLLYWOOD’ On Brand New Single…

Sonic vibes that thrill us in a way we want to scream out loud…

10 July 2018

After their 2017 glam garage rock/pop debut album TALK TALK TALK  Scottish trio ACTING STRANGE returns with a new, more serious single. With HOLLYWOOD they criticise the sex scandals related to Los Angeles‘ movie city. Thumbs up for this bold decision. Instead of going for another party slam dunk these young dogs prefer to do
what many other artists should do more: drawing attention to ongoing injustices and nowadays crimes of manipulative misconduct versus women. It’s 2018 for God’s sake. Time to get civilized, Hollywood and all you male pigs around the globe. Play this loud
and on repeat, folks…

‘Talk Talk Talk’ by ACTING STRANGE

ACTING STRANGE are two musical cousins and a mysterious friend out of East Kilbride, Scotland. Young, restless and ambitious the Strange boys decided a couple of years ago what probably all youngsters actually should decide to do: going mad for it and create some heated rock and roll firework. Their 2016 debut EP ‘Night on the Tiles‘ revealed their early sonic direction: shaky and bluesy DIY pop nostalgia à la Liverpool legends The La’s. Their sound evolved quickly into a 60s/70s glam rock injected vibe and the band recorded, produced and mixed their debut album TALK TALK TALK in just two weeks in a converted shed in their hometown on a Tascam 8-track in order to get a ‘straight to the point‘ organic sound. The brand new longplayer contains several flaming crackers (Sharp End / Save Me / Start It Over / Questions / Acting Strange) to start a weekend-long party but their firstborn has more to offer than just go bonkers electricity. Moody jingle jangle beauties like Dream Away , Wrong Desires and Universe Blues – think iconic The Kinks‘s frontman Ray Davies going acoustic – are the perfect yearning songs to sing along at the end of that same party… when the sun comes up. ‘Talk Talk Talk’ is a jukebox full of ‘Party Party Party’ tracks. From swirling kicks to dreamy reflections. From steamy retro beats to stripped-to-the-bone melancholy. Press the button and fuel your weekend with this versatile Acting Strange debut…
