The Sorecocks is a relentless rampage through ten original tracks with no pausing for reflection and making no concessions for nobody. Rough, raw and balls to the wall! With a reputation as live purveyors of "sleazy, maggot infested rock slop", dubbed "sleaze metal" by the band, the Cocks set out to harness their live energy and dabble with studio voodoo in order to create this recorded document. The understanding ear of producer and engineer Dave Holmes (Gramsci, Jakob) has provided punch and aggression. The songs (and the song titles) speak for themselves. They pay tribute to the music that has influenced each band member and direct you head-first to the essence of what a raucous rock song is. It's rock n' roll fire baby, smell that rubber burning!
For the uninitiated, it's rock music.
They're a rock band.
They're The Sorecocks.
BAD LARRY SHAFTA
Two bit mover and averagely skilled rhythm guitarist. Responsible for 're-appropriation' of classic riffs and playing them crudely as his own, “Distorted Boogie” is Larry's calling card. Previously known to have released an album of “dark disco” a few years back that he had co-produced with a Tall Dutch Man, but when that whole scene died, rock n’ roll of course eventually prevailed. Larry is happy to speak on behalf of all the group and announce their intentions with the following mission statement.
FILTHY JOE SMOKER
Originally hailing from a white bread suburban hell in Victoria, Australia. This founding member of the group is art school trained, extremely computer literate, a website and visual entertainment creator, as well as Lead Vocalist/Guitar contributor. Currently unemployable, Joe is also known as “The Ladies’ Choice.”
G.G.WILLAKAZ
Is the strapping lead guitarist for the group and is another multi talented visual/video image creator/manipulator (among other things) and has a list of credentials as impressive as can be. A past member of a million previous musical projects, Mr Willakaz's lead playing can only be described as “Loose but Tight.”
P.HANDON ORGAN
He drums like no other and his heavy metal pedigree is tried and true. He can boast about being in the long gone but never forgotten '”synth metal” pioneers Raw Meat For The Balcony. An award winning TV promo maker and part time drum n’ bass producer, P Handon Organ continuously tries to add his patented “Fourth Riff” to the other members’ songwriting contributions. Sometimes he wins... sometimes he don't.
SIR BORKUM RIFF
The major rager on the four string motherfucker, Sir Riff is a general knowledge mastermind and one day dreams of leaving the music industry, to pursue a full time career as a game show contestant. Previously known to have experimented with the construction of dub reggae tracks in his spare time, he now travels the countryside selling re-conditioned musical instrument supplies to unsuspecting regional shopkeepers.
"WE'RE GONNA HAVE US SOME UNREAL FUCKING GOOD TIMES"
This album was recorded in two phases at opposite ends of the year.
The whole thing took about 30 hours man labour from those involved.
Immediate , Raw and intentionally In The Gutter.
This album is nothing more & nothing less than electrified Rock n’ Roll,
made with borrowed equipment and bleeding hands.
Not for the faint hearted, or pregnant women.
May have unpleasant side effects.
PLAY LOUD !
