Pleasure House Release New Single "Mind Control"
Birmingham alternative rock quartet Pleasure House have released their brand new single Mind Control, the second cut from their five-track Sentient EP out on May 26th. I adore those guitars and drums!!! Such an energetic and groovy alt/rock tune produced by Bruce Rintoul (Twin Atlantic, Fatherson, Vukovi). Check it out below!


Ahead of the release, frontman Alex Heffernan stated:
The system is broken and we’re all being lied to. Mind Control is happening all around us and we wouldn’t even know. The media controls the masses, the leaders control the media, and we’re left scurrying around like little ants trying to choose a colour that seems less evil than the other. We wrote this song amongst the storm of Brexit and Trump, way before a general election had been called, and now I think it’s even more relevant. Register to vote, try to save the NHS and don’t let the TV dictate your decisions.

Part of a new wave of acts currently reinvigorating the city’s music scene, the Midlands four-piece incorporate elements of Peace and Swim Deap in their sound to create their own unique offering. Pulverising drums, snarling riffs and aggressive vocals strongly come to the fore in latest EP cut Mind Control, which arrives ahead of the band’s string of live dates across the country, following on from support slots with the likes of Sundara Karma, Black Honey and Fickle Friends.
