On
Killer Tracks Records
Kicking
Out the Jams from Motor City to Oil City
The Mutants are a
twin-turbo unit of Chris Constantinou (The
Wolfmen, Adam Ant) and Paul
Frazer (Black Futures) penning new
tunes and recruiting three generations of all-star icons and idols for guest
appearances
In a Mutant’s
super-scoop, lead-off single Walking
Wounded reunites two pure bred legends Wilko
Johnson and Wayne Kramer - back
together for the first time since sharing a bill at The London Rock n’ Roll
Show, Wembley, 1972. Wilko has repeatedly said seeing the MC5‘s performance that
day changed his life, as he quit teaching to become a full time rock ‘n’
roller.
A key moment of rock 'n' roll history, Walking
Wounded not only reunites Wilko and
Wayne but, is the first time the duo
have recorded together. A full-pelt belter ‘Wounded’ sees Johnson
and Kramer trading and exchanging Oil city skitter and Detroit squeals, while out-front
is a raw power performance from Belfast's finest, Jake Burns – backed by a
dream team rhythm section of Rat Scabies
and Norman Watt-Roy alongside Chris Constantinou and Paul Frazer
Flipside Brixton Est Loco: is agit-punk-reggae with sound system boom and TV Smith and Neville Staples tag-teaming, backed by Rat Scabies, The Specials Horn Players and Chris Constantinou and Paul Frazer
Walking Wounded and Brixton Est Loco are twin teaser
trailers for the album The Rhythm And
Punk Review with you later this year where The Mutants are joined by Wilko,
Wayne, Rat and a rogues gallery of Norman Watt Roy, TV Smith, Charlie Harper, Jake Burns, Knox, Neville
Staple, Judy Nylon, Charlie Harper, Beki Bondage, Texas Terri Bomb, Preston
Heyman and more - for filthy
and furious floor-shakers, retracing the roots of punk, new wave and
ska, and reuniting first generation icons and pioneers with the nest new
young-bloods blazing away today.
A punk
primer for the iGeneration
