The Contrast New Album Preview and Competition

Marc A. Price — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 21:49:09 +0000

The release date for the new album by The Contrast “God of Malfunction” is fixed for April 13th and here at thecontrast.net I can exclusively reveal that there will be competition run by Little Steven’s Underground Garage to choose which song from the album will be the Coolest Song in the World on February 26th. The Contrast have a long history of securing the Coolest Song in the World title but this time around there are three possible candidates and the listener will get to vote for the one that they want to be the CSITW.

Excellent stuff, and in order to support this thecontrast.net will make the three songs available at 00:00 GMT on 18/02/2010. That’s like nearly today you know…

The songs in question are “Good Luck Charms”, “She’s a Disaster”, and “Coming Back to Life”. In order to vote you need to go to Fuzztopia.com, log in (or register if you are not already a member) and vote. There are already snippets of the songs on the site and there are full versions available on Wicked Cool’s MySpace page and as I say here on thecontrast.net we will be making the tunes available for streaming only a few hours.

New Album Title

Marc A. Price — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 19:07:00 +0000

Exciting news has escaped from The Contrast’s camp. The new album that the band recorded recently in Leeds under the working title of “Good Luck Charms & Fast Cars” has been given an official title. The design of artwork for the album is underway and preliminary designs are expected next week (unlikely to be seen here for a while unfortunately).

However, as of this week the recording is officially titled “The God of Malfunction”. This is hardly surprising as that track is one of the stand-out tracks contained on the record. No news yet on when it will be released. I’ll keep you posted.

The IPO has also been held for various years in Chicago, New York, Boston, San Francisco, Vancouver, and Toronto, as well as in Liverpool, England (at the world famous Cavern Club).

The dates, places and times of The Contrast shows are below:

Friday May 22 @ The Cavern Pub (on stage 10pm)
