Everything about the new 7” three track single from UK psyche rock ‘n’ rollers Dick Venom & The Terrortones is irresistible. From the outstanding and deliciously alluring packaging right through to the insatiable and rapaciously mischievous sounds the release is an exhilarating riot of sex brewed blood lusting rock, a fusion of psychobilly, garage rock, and old school rock ‘n’ roll which recruits every atom and emotion possible into its carnal devilry.
Dick Venom and co first grabbed our attention with The RockinRollin VampireMan EP last year, the release consisting of a trio of wantonness clad songs reinforcing the strong reputation and presence of the band which had been earned through three years of live show revelry, their appearances capturing the primal needs of a fervour fuelled fan base. As well as their own headlining gigs the band has toured the UK with the likes of The Meteors, Bad For Lazarus, Demented Are Go, The Radiacs, Vince Ray & The Boneshakers, and Vince Ripper (ex-Alien Sex Fiend), continuing to increase their fingerprint of mischief on UK rock. The new release sees the line-up of frontman Dick Venom, bassist Wrex St.Clair, guitarist Hurricane Valley, and drummer Sugarbeats opening doors to even more potent rascality with creative and body fluids heating up the band’s unique depravity under the mask of sci-fi schlock ’n’ roll.
Invasion Of The Spiderqueen opens up the release with a swagger of off kilter harmonies which herald in the arrival of the man before 
bass and guitars unlock the key of greater pleasure with eager and raw caresses. Soon joined by the distinctive tones of Mr Venom, his colour soaked narrative of outer space glamour seizing greedy attention, the track swaggers with pungent riffs and rolling rhythms taking the senses and thoughts on a heady ride. Tight hooks spear the passions throughout, their breath familiar yet fresh, whilst the core groove is the master of addiction aided by the throaty bass and continually riveting delivery of Venom. Holding an air of The Cramps and Screaming Lord Sutch to its voice and Batmobile to its sound, the song is a thrilling encounter to start things off, thoughts and imagination taking off their space helmets to stand side by side with the band on a strange temptress of an adventure.
The following Planet Of The Honeyfuzz strolls up to the ear with the bass laying down its deep toned lure as twisting twine of sonic guitar wrap acidically around the brewing picture. A psychedelic whisper and garage rock taunt brings vibrant hues to the emerging episode, celestial bodies again explored and provoked as band and song flex their riveting enterprise and instinctive misbehaviour. As the track fingers the passions and musical potency with a kind of Revillos meets The Ramones and The Doors like trickery and Slade like rowdiness, full submission to the release is cemented though there was never any chance of another outcome from the first few minutes of the opener.
The release is completed by Doodlebug Blitz, a tempered dance of psychotic joy which stomps around with an ever increasing melodic and rhythmic chicanery. The track holds its rabidity and energy in for the main of the song, its reins tight on the openly vampish heart of song and band though at times allowing it moments to send luscious weaves of trashy irreverence into the aroused passions.
With the single wrapped in the stunning artwork of Catherine O’Connor, and the enclosed 8 page comic book, quite simply Dick Venom & The Terrortones has never sounded so good. The loud suggestion that the band was one to help shape the future of UK psychotic rock was already in play from their earlier release but now Invasion Of The Spiderqueen/ Planet Of The Honeyfuzz declares the band as not only certainties but also without competition the twisted sex laded psychos all your mothers warned you of.
Invasion Of The Spiderqueen /Planet Of The Honeyfuzz is released on Sept 9th
