Menace Beach with a new single Song: Tastes Like Medicine on Memphis Industries the Leeds-based fuzz rockers are everywhere at the moment and recently played to a packed Rough Trade Record store in Nottingham . That’s why we were positively ecstatic to wake this morning to discover the band have unveiled the video for their single ‘Tastes Like Medicine’. The premiere follows the release of the Menace Beach’s debut album “Ratworld”, which came out on Memphis Industries last week.

The track is a charming piece of noise-pop that despite all its buzzing distortion, is still anchored on an infectious melody and duet vocal from Ryan Needham and Liza Violet.

The video was directed by the band’s good pal and fellow Leeds rocker Tom Hudson, more commonly of Pulled Apart By Horses. Hudson took an unenviable amount of homemade footage of Menace Beach while they were on tour with his band last year and played around with some child-like animation upon his arrival home.

He describes the process like this: “I’ve already done a couple of music videos for them before, ‘Drop Outs’ – an eyeball popping/face melting animation – and a lo-fi VHS video for the following single ‘Tennis Court’. When they asked me to produce a video for their new single ‘Tastes Like Medicine’ I thought I would try and combine the two together.”

Leeds-based fuzz-rockers Menace Beach have been floating around here and there throughout 2014, steadily building up a reputation that that has led to their debut LP “Ratworld“ – which will be released on January 15th via Memphis Industries – becoming hugely anticipated.

Until now, there hadn’t been a full-blown tour around the UK for fans to really get their teeth stuck into, but come the end of January and the unveiling of the album, all that will change.

The band will perform in-stores in Leeds and Nottingham, and an album launch special in Kingston, before hitting the road proper at The Broadcast in Glasgow on January 25th. It all culminates with what will no doubt be a sizzling homecoming finale at Brudenell Social Club on February 1st.

What’s more, there’s also a new track for us to wrap our ears around. ‘Blue Eye’ demonstrates another string to the five-piece’s bow, taking us on an ethereal meander that embraces psychedelia and distorted balladry – this could well end up being one of the record’s most poignant sonic moments.
