+ Dead By April & This Is Massacre
MY PASSION are Laurence René (Vocals, Guitar), Jonathan Gaskin (Drums, Vocals, Electronics), John Be (Guitar) and Simon Rolands (Bass, Synth), four young men with a fearless, rebellious intention, DIY ethics and a genre-smashing electronic induced metallic punk sound. My Passion's story has only just begun but they are a band have already made 2010 their own.
Born two years ago in the leafy suburbs of Hertfordshire, My Passion have done what all good bands do, toured endlessly, racking up more than 400 shows to date. If there is one sure indication of how a band have struck a chord with their audience then look no further than the bands myspace, over 70,000 friends and over 1,800,000 plays and counting.
The bands debut album, Corporate Flesh Party, shows a band at the height of their powers, driving rhythms and distorted guitar overlaid with electronic hooks and infectious vocals and melodies. From the driving riffs of album opener and forthcoming single Crazy and Me to the electronica punk tinged Hot In the Dolls House, from the infectious melody of Plastic Flesh Garden to the drive of album closer Vultures Are People Too, the album is a remarkable debut. Corporate Flesh Party was produced by John Mitchell (Enter Shikari, You Me At Six). The band have just finished recording their second album which is set to be titled Inside This Machine.
Keeping a fiercely independent spirit the band set up their own label Style Suicide Records, and have their own My Passion Fashion merchandise empire growing daily. My Passion are one of the breakthrough British rock bands of 2010.
