More New Rock From Virals

We ATH kids have jumped on board the band wagon for UK group Virals this year.  We’ve already shared two songs with you  going by the rocking names of “Summer Girls” and “Gloria”.  Well now the band has yet another new song to share with all of you entitled “Strange Fruit” and it’s got just as much rock to offer as those other jams.  This one goes in more of a fuzzy Fresh & Onlys type of direction and I know most everyone around these parts will be into that.

This track appears on a new EP from Virals entitled Strange Fruit which drops next week via Zoo Music.

New Rockin’ Jam From Virals

Virals is the brand new garage rocking style group from former Lovvers frontman Shaun Hencher.  The recently put together group provides a style most similar to maybe Terry Malts or Ty Segall which is evidenced by the tune found below “Gloria”.  Another song from the band called “Coming Up With the Sun” can also be streamed via the soundcloud website.  A short 4 song EP, Coming Up With the Sun, will further introduce everyone to the new group on May 7th via Tough Love Records.
