Casper Skulls today announced that they have signed to Buzz Records and also premiered their single Mink Coats. Take a listen via Soundcloud below.
Casper Skulls formed a little under a year ago and have rapidly built a reputation as one of the most exciting new bands in Toronto on the back of their self-released ‘King of Gold’ 7″ and live sets with Perfect Pussy, Screaming Females, Suuns and Greys. Following an early 2016 Canadian tour supporting Solids and the Dirty Nil, the band have began working with producers Josh Korody (Fucked Up, Dilly Dally, Weaves) and Shehzaad Jiwani of Greys on an EP slated for release on Buzz in the Fall.
Mink Coats, according to vocalist Neil Bednis, is one of the band’s earliest songs and addresses political corruption. “I started writing the song in early 2014 before Casper Skulls was a band and it was inspired by the Rob Ford fiasco that was happening at that time” he says. “Although that time has come and gone with Mr. Ford, the song’s sentiment still holds true for other ludicrous power-hungry politicians. As long as politics exist, so will corruption and lies.”
Mink Coats is available now via Buzz Records.
