DIRTY SHAME - The new single from The Cubical

A year after the global success of their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Come Sing These Crippled Tunes’, The Cubical are back with new single ‘Dirty Shame’; the first to be taken from their new album which will hit the shops next year. Sounding like a cross between Roxy Music and Exile on Main Street era Stones, ‘Dirty Shame’ continues where the band left off with their unique and twisted take on psychedelic garage blues only this time adding a full horn section for extra measure. From the duelling guitar intro to the horn section climax, singer Dan Wilson's trademark blues growl and bizarre lyrical imagery sit proudly on top of a sound that only The Cubical can make: a thunderous swamp blues groove of twanging guitars, frenetic bass and pounding drums. After 3 and a half minutes of 'Dirty Shame', The Cubical will leave you gasping for breath and eagerly awaiting more from their forthcoming second album. The video (a homage to Italian singer / songwriter Adriano Celentano's 1972 gibberish single Prisencolinensinainciusol) isn't bad either.

Here’s a reminder of what people have said about The Cubical from around the world:

'If you like your rock'n'roll primal and pounding, and your vocals gritty and growly, then meet Liverpool's answer to the Magic Band.' – The Guardian

“Mind-warpin’ mutated blues. Don’t let it pass you by.” - Shindig
