The Butterfly - The Duke

The Butterfly is the band, The Duke the single, Leeds is their home. Sounding similar to the Kaisers, yet with undertones lending towards what would happen if System Of A Down decided to release the ultimate pop song. With such anthemic powers this is a fantastic single, with punchy offbeat hi-hat rhythms dominating the superb mix. Vocals reminisce of Franz's first single but yielding stronger and more confident results with powerful wailing backing vox. This song sounds like a giant megalomaniac robot crunching upon gasoline crisp appetisers, before its stuffed-juggernaut and trailer main meal of, well, a well timed perfectly oiled giant robot…

…fast, hard and full of energy, The Butterfly is an exciting act to look out for later this year. A huge sense of humour and fun emanates from this band and with a highly acclaimed live performance they can only build upon their growing fan-base.

B-side Side 'Algiers' is crazier, looser, and probably more what this band is about live. Chant-worthy 'I wouldn't feel a thing' is bound to be a huge crowd pleaser. Also includes a massive remix tune by the incredible Talk Less Say More.
