THE
BANGKOK FIVE
CONFIRMED FOR MAY TOUR WITH BOBAFLEX;
RELEASE
DATE FOR ‘WE LOVE WHAT KILLS US’
SOPHOMORE ALBUM MOVED TO JUNE 10
April 2, 2008 -- The
Bangkok Five----Frost (vocals), Sweeney (lead guitar), Coatez (bass),
Blanco (drums), Bobby S. (guitar)—will be heading out on the
U.S. concert trail with Bobaflex starting May 1 in New Port Richey,
FL in support of their WE LOVE WHAT KILLS US sophomore album.
WE LOVE WHAT KILLS
US--which was originally due out May 13--will now be released
on June 10 on Long Live Crime Records (distributed by MRI/Red/Sony).
The album marks the first time the band will release music in two
languages: five songs in English and the same five songs in Spanish.
It’s the follow-up
to the band’s 2006 debut, WHO'S GONNA TAKE US ALIVE?
(Universal). The first single from that album, “Spread Eagle,”
hit # 1 on several tastemaker indie rock radio stations across the
country, leading to tours of Europe, Canada and the U.S. with bands
such as Hot Hot Heat, The Cult, The Stooges, The Bronx, Buckcherry,
(International) Noise Conspiracy and Papa Roach.
Early critical praise is starting to surface for WE LOVE WHAT
KILLS US. To wit:
“…their music
and lyrics on their new album have established them as one of the
premier hard rock bands of the year. The album’s title track,
“We Love What Kills Us”, is pure energy. Lead singer,
Frost, goes all-out with his vocals and even shows glimpses of Ian
Astbury of The Cult on his vocal delivery. The lead guitar of Sweeney
and the masterful drumming of Blanco only add to the assault…Whether
you hear the album in English or Spanish, the energy that The Bangkok
Five display is top-notch.”
--Jim Pasinski,
Record-Journal (Meriden, CT),

“A touch of Zodiac Mindwarp mixed with a bit of Foo Fighters
is the first thing that comes to mind. Touch of sleaze, a touch
of glam and a whole bunch of attitude. From the opener of title
track to ‘Outline of Us’ you just get pure quality rock
on here…Oh there is a touch of the Gothy attitude of HIM floating
round too.”
