***TATTOOED BEAT MESSIAHS’ ‘WHITE TRASH’ SINGLE RELEASED MARCH 7th PRIOR TO 9 DATE MARCH UK TOUR ***

“Twenty-four years ago, Zodiac Mindwarp unleashed ‘Wild Child’, a debut EP so thunderously sleazy, priapic and dumb that it practically turned its creator into a rock’n’roll legend overnight. He followed it with the equally reprehensible ‘High Priest Of Love’ mini-album, stormed the charts with ‘Prime Mover’, which remains one of the greatest rock anthems of the last 25 years, and penned ‘Feed My Frankenstein’ for Alice Cooper...At his lascivious, whisky-sodden best, Zodiac still has menace and muscle in plentiful supply, and drooling riff-ups like ‘Don’t Touch My Guitar’ and ‘Key To Your Heart’ have undeniably massive hooks. 7/10” (Dom Lawson, Classic Rock, reviewing ‘We Are Volsung’, October 2010)

“Admit it - ‘Prime Mover’ was one of your guilty pleasures; well the often-imitated back-seat educators are back with a brand new album packed full of just the sort of catchy dark-glam nonsense you’d expect from the leather-clad beat messiahs.” (Terrorizer Magazine, reviewing ‘We Are Volsung’, October 2010.)

Zodiac Mindwarp And The Love Reaction have confirmed the release of a brand new single, ‘White Trash’, (taken from their highly acclaimed new studio album ‘We Are Volsung’), on Steamhammer / SPV Records, on March 7th, immediately prior to their UK headline tour which kicks off March 16th. Dates are:-

Zodiac Mindwarp And The Love Reaction were formed in 1985 when, in a musical world of hairspray and spandex, two long haired leather clad rockers, Cobalt Stargazer, a guitarist, graphic artist and poet, and Zodiac Mindwarp, a budding philosopher, joined forces and created the dirtiest, wildest band of all time. One year later, they signed to Polygram, released, first the ground breaking High Priest of Love EP, and subsequently the Tattooed Beat Messiah album, containing the top 20 single ‘Prime Mover’. Overnight, they accidentally changed the look of all the rock bands of the time from the obligatory spandex, eye liner and tinsel, to rough biker jackets, engineer boots and goatee beards. Mötley Crüe declared them to be their favourite band and immediately restyled themselves for the ‘Girls, Girls, Girls’ record. ZMATLR grew in notoriety, touring the World and America, co-headlining arenas and theatres with Guns `N` Roses and finding themselves at home playing festivals and baseball stadiums with Iron Maiden. After attending a Hammersmith Odeon ZMATLR concert and giving it his seal of approval, Alice Cooper then recorded the Zodiac Mindwarp penned ‘Feed My Frankenstein’, later performed in the film ‘Wayne’s World’. ZMATLR imploded in the mid 90’s – no surprise after all that madness –before reforming in the late noughties and recording ‘We Are Volsung’, a celebration in the Norse tradition, with new band members “The Cat” on Drums and “Jack Shitt” on bass, in the Spring of 2010.

***NEW STUDIO ALBUM ‘WE ARE VOLSUNG’ RELEASED SEPTEMBER 27th ON SPV / ALBUM LAUNCH GIG @ BORDERLINE SEPTEMBER 25th***


ZODIAC MINDWARP AND THE LOVE REACTION have signed to SPV / Steamhammer Records, who are set to release the band’s brand new studio album, ‘We Are Volsung’ on September 27th.

Two days prior to release, Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction will preview ‘We Are Volsung’ at a special album launch gig at the Borderline on September 25th. Tickets, priced £12 in advance, are on sale now; (http://venues.meanfiddler.com/borderline/home).

Zodiac Mindwarp have also been confirmed to play as Special Guests at Alice Cooper’s 2 Halloween shows at London’s Roundhouse Theatre on October 31st and November 1st – 4more info go to www.alicecooper.com/news/alice-cooper-announces-london-halloween-show.

Zodiac Mindwarp and The Love Reaction were formed in 1985 when, in a musical world of hairspray and spandex, two long haired leather clad rockers were introduced to each other by their “exotic dancer” girlfriends. One, Cobalt Stargazer, was a graphic artist and poet, the other, Zodiac Mindwarp, a budding philosopher. They immediately dropped everything, joined forces and created the dirtiest, wildest band of all time. One year later, they signed to Polygram, released, first the ground breaking High Priest of Love EP, and subsequently the Tattooed Beat Messiah album, containing the top 20 single ‘Prime Mover’.

Overnight, they accidentally changed the look of all the rock bands of the time from the obligatory spandex, eye liner and tinsel, to rough biker jackets, engineer boots and goatee beards. Mötley Crüe declared them to be their favourite band and immediately restyled themselves for the ‘Girls, Girls, Girls’ record.

ZMATLR grew in notoriety, touring the World and America, co-headlining arenas and theatres with Guns `N` Roses and finding themselves at home playing festivals and baseball stadiums with Iron Maiden.

After attending a Hammersmith Odeon ZMATLR concert and giving it his seal of approval, Alice Cooper then recorded the Zodiac Mindwarp penned ‘Feed My Frankenstein’, later performed in the film ‘Wayne’s World’.

The critical acclaim of ZMATLR then caused rare misfortune, when they lost their young naive bass player to the lures of The Cult. The band soldiered on regardless. Sometime later, in Paris, Slam Thunderhide, their drummer, decided to put down his sticks to become a GoGo dancer in Vancouver.

Present day: With “The Cat” shaking the Earth on Drums and “Jack Shitt” rumbling the low frequencies, they ride again, honing their skills playing for the Viking descendants in Scandinavia. From these tough, manly ordeals, a new set of recordings have been forged. "We Are Volsung" is the result, a celebration in the Norse tradition. 10 Songs of pure unadulterated rock.
