INTERVURT – TRANSLUCENT – DEAD PLANET RECORDS

USA
(SANEPR.com) January 10, 2008 -- INTERVURT “The most exciting new alt-rock band coming out the UK”
(Dennis Sanders, manager Mondo Generator)

INTERVURT are:
Paul O’Keeffe (Vocals), Mark Alberici (Guitars), Lee Wilton (Bass), Oliver Alberici (Keyboards), Scott Richman (Drums)

INTERVURT are a highly motivated 5 piece alternative rock band from London UK. Building a reputation of being a great live act that crosses the attitude and melody of the Killers and U2 with the richness and darkness of Depeche Mode and Muse, combined with the power of the Queens of The Stone Age.

The band have already supported the likes of the Strokes and the Raconteurs, as well as appearing at the O2 Wireless Festival at Hyde Park, Get Loaded in the Park, Beautiful Days, Guilfest and Bestival over the last 18 months.

INTERVURT have recently signed to Dead Planet Records, a new South London based independent record label. Translucent is the first EP to be released on the 28th Jan 08 from the bands forthcoming debut album, most of which has already been recorded at Jimi Hendrix’s Electric Lady Studios in NYC, working with producers Mark Plati (Bowie, Cure, Prince) and Tom McKay (Joydropp)

“Translucent” along with all 3 other tracks contained on the band’s debut EP is a brilliant calling card for anyone looking for something new, fresh and different to get their teeth into. Tracks like Suffering offer a much heavier and darker insight into the band while retaining their pop sensibilities.

INTERVURT are “Natural Born Killers with high-octane music that contains a reckless menace, both vicious and vulnerable in equal measures. Like Natural Born Killers, they’re prepared to do whatever it takes!” Notion Magazine

“Love this band” (Janice Long, BBC Radio 2)

“This Band is going to be huge” (Chris Hawkins, BBC 6 Music)

“Translucent is a monster of a track” (Phil Jackson, BBC SCR)
