Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats - Mind Crawler

Mind Crawler is the single from Uncle Acid's third album, Mind Control. Due for 7" vinyl and digital release on August 19th, it features an exclusive b-side, Get on Home - a brand new recording of a song originally written and recorded by Charles Manson.The band have also unveiled the new video for the single too, - directed by Marc Morris it is a paranoia-inducing sensory assault fully capturing sacrifice of social niceties whereby goat skulls, nuns, acid tabs and ritual sex sit alongside trash culture, exploitation movies, rolling news and grainy TV clips of Jim Jones and Charles Manson, Uncle Acid will also embark on a full EU & UK arena tour as main support to the legendary Black Sabbath in November and December 2013. Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats' are the very antithesis of what it is to be a rock band in the 21st century and therefore quite brilliant. Formed in Cambridge by media-shy frontman K.R. Stars, in an era of profile building, brand-expanding and over-exposure Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats are a cult genuine phenomena: taking rock music back to its ritualistic beginnings when pagan heathens would stomp out a dirt-rhythm and howl at the moon. When music was the carnal catalyst for orgiastic midnight reckonings.Mind Control (2013) looked across the water for inspiration, primarily early Alice Cooper, MC5, Blue Cheer, The Stooges and B-movie biker flicks. It has been critically acclaimed right across the music press board, from Kerrang! to Mojo and NME. Because Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats are many things to many people: a blues band, a metal band, a psychedelic band, a doom band. A cult. The question of who and why and when still go largely unanswered and indeed become irrelevant when Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats plug in and play. Devotees throw themselves down at the feet. Declare allegiance to the twisted spirit sound. Offer themselves and their grandmothers for sacrifice to these devilish overlords. Because resistance, ultimately, is futile.
