“Hits like a jolt of electrified angst blending indie-rock & punk grit with a torrent of distortion” Tits Upon Tyne
“An explosion of emotions wrapped in distortion & hard-hitting rhythms” Expansion Radial
Following the success of their debut single Bad Odour, Hull’s explosive punk outfit Culture Clash return with the dramatic new single Sanitizer inspired by 70s & 80s slasher horror movies like Halloween (1978), Friday the 13th (1980), Basket Case (1982) & Maniac (1990).
Produced by renowned local indie producer Adam Pattrick & released on Warren Records, the track follows a serial killer called “The Cleaner”, a school janitor who, having been driven mad by years of messy teenagers, kills anyone who doesn’t clean up after themselves. With this song, the band were keen to create something grungier & heavier than their normal punk sound, which was initially inspired by Nirvana‘s album Bleach, with songs like Swap meet & Floyd the Barber being a key focus, as well as The Misfits, with its horror-based theme.
Vocalist Kaii states “This song is important to me as it represents a shift in our song writing format. Sanitizer takes Culture Clash as a group of vague floating ideas & shoves those ideas into a ba,g creating a tight concept of what we are as a band & what we want to do – in short, it gave us a sense of direction”.
