Change or Die News Release
by Sunscreem HQ / © 1995 Big Fish Music Ltd
In the UK O3 brought it home to the cynics that a dance band could exist who delivered powerhouse dance tracks that were real songs with lyrics that meant something and who could actually play their instruments. Spawning 4 Top 30 hits, O3 became the seminal clubbers album.
Lucia, that dreadlocked harpy from Heaven, with a voice like Harriet Wheeler with balls, is one of the precious few who sound consistently wonderful on the dance floor... Perfecto pop, Delirious dance. O3 cuts like a knife, both ways. Hooj Choons? Hooj achievement my friends.
The Sunscreem message spread as it always has by word-of-mouth, giving them Top 40 hits not only in the UK and US but as far afield as Finland, Australia, and Brazil.
Their new album Change Or Die is a statement that Sunscreem are more than just a band. They are a constantly evolving project and a like-minded family of new and old friends, centred around Lucia and Paul, who together continue to combine underground attitudes and underground rhythms with a full-blooded pop sensibility.
If they continue to create such timeless music, I may just tattoo their name on my forearm!
