Dirty Water Television Premiere: The Cavemen (NZ) - "I'm A Mess"

It has been a busy year for New Zealanders The Cavemen from just releases alone. Now the quartet of vocalist Paul, guitarist Jack, bassist Nick, and drummer Jake Caveman have freed a new video offering ahead of their new album "Born To Hate" which is now available for pre-order and download from Dirty Water Records.

Now UK based, The Cavemen (NZ) have arguably unearthed their most primal and trashiest sound for their new album; breeding both tracks with the kind of punk rock which has ignited and corrupted rock ‘n’ roll since the days of Gene Vincent and Jerry lee Lewis, through the likes of Hasil Adkins and The Stooges, and on to the likes of The Cramps, Gun Club, and The Ramones and more. Raw and cast in lo-fi manna, the new album sizzles on the senses as it infests the body and purges the psyche like a predacious attack of sonic leprosy.

The Cavemen (NZ) kick off their European tour at the fabulous Funtastic Dracula Carnival this week in Benidorm, Spain. Be sure not to miss these morally reprehensible troglodytes, clubbing folks over the head at a venue near you.
