killrikki What struck me immediately was to me it had a sound of old Animosity/Technocracy era COC, but their influences are right on the nose. You hear Melvins, Black Flag and Voivod. A really great mix of style. Favorite track: In The Flesh.

AM Gold 04:16
Is she man or machine? Fastest cast ever seen You’ve been trained to allure Baby’s awfully mature He’s a social disease Like every shark on the breeze Wither alone in the end Red hollow eyes Cold black breath Rave on through the muck and the mire True to possess Use shameless deceipt to acquire Overfed, undergrown Just a snake without a home Though more resembles a worm With every grace watch him squirm Now she is happening to me Been hypnotized, set me free With her alone in the end Red hollow eyes Still you I crave, Still you whom I despise Been stained Been chained How time flies These burning gashes prove my queen was real Here new sensation--this gaping wound is yours to fill

Odious Charm 04:04
Sick creep Vile, cheap Low life Low bar But can you make me a star? Need only tell me how far Rule fate Chum, bait Fair sin A true liar Old moral burn with the fire Now baby feed my desire With slick patent sleaze Know you can rest at ease
3.
Slur 03:00
Same fake disgrace You twitch in place A wind will blow Go tread in tow And find out Just who Few realize Such cheap disguise Ain't who you were All such a blur Yet still you crave Life wild, depraved Best to derail Lest you should fail All hail One mad bore
4.
Total Horse 01:35
Artlessly draining I'm so tired all the time Desaturated Just soak in the brine Sink in the brine Shrink in the brine Make stink in the brine So fascinated by such Lifeless divine Mannequinn puppets You shrink back Distract Now Come Clean This race is injust You'll feel it in time Soon fall like the others to crawl Once such gall Yet your misfortune's mine One bleak contractual bind Defile last wilderness Die then confess
5.
She's as beautiful as a foot She's as beautiful as a foot She heard someone say The other day Didn't believe it when he bit into her face Didn't believe it when he bit into her face It tasted like a fallen arch She's as beautiful as a foot She's as beautiful as a foot She heard someone say The other day Don't put your mouth on the bloody toothmark place Don't put your mouth on the bloody toothmark place Look at her now A guernsey cow

Stone Freak 03:30
Naked innocent Bed of Lies The barren images Still rape my mind Flashes on the inner screen Thoughts unreal Gone nowhere, nobody now True nature I Must fight to conceal Can't undo This raw deal Once had a will to live One precious soul Lost her to the cancerous lust Of rock and roll Yet still the city burns Unholy grind Maybe soon I could return If first I could learn to go blind So blind... Lay vacant in a dream Til daylight may shred the seams See no escape by any means Slave to the reality Slave to the reality Slave to the reality Slave to a sweet memory Well, I'll be damned We'll all be damned
7.
Fester 02:51
Sweet surrender Life asinine Soon join the million Resilient swine So free indeed Unveil my dread Damn head Soft brain full of thick persuasive lead And truth said May have the cure But mine is wine Vermillion tender Defies straight greed Shoot from the hip boy Now watch 'em bleed Exceed the need Extract then leave 'em dead A stooge bred Two ounce golden bullet to the head And truth said I'm just a face you'll soon revile in time So unwind Once grasp exceeds the reach Pure hate is blind Or love refined?
8.
Regress in stride Smoldering pride Fool's golden chains Remissive fuel The poison boils in my veins No will to abstain Just rattle my brain Trajectory's plain All down Our fate's intwined Last hour's assigned Now what's to gain? All burn to dust Our pagan idols shall remain In unnatural exchange Earth conscience Derangedly estranged Projected demise Roll through white skies Horrors ingrained Who'll end it all Oh baby let the terror reign Said victim in pain Begot on the blistering plain With wit to submit to Dispassionate strain
9.
In The Flesh 04:23
End of a cigarette Return of a burning regret So peel off and throw away Peel off the skin of today And fly away To ride the night Ride the night She's so right Miss delight is so right Love shot of novacane Congealed by a pleasant mundane Two maintain Kill for a thrill, still I restrain Just medicate as needed for the pain And self destruct To keep from going insane I'll behave Be your slave No I insist Reenter the masquerade Enclosed alone, just here to entertain The dumb plain Stagger drunk through steel abyss Won't break my will First have to break my fist Yet prize is high, now wonder Why resist? Why resist? Thought ludicrous, Seems due time to drink the piss
10.
Cake Walk 04:12
Preach from the book Still find your hell is dry Inept crusade I'll be the next you crucify Don't own a thought This one I've loaded, it ain't mine Just like to hold it to the sun And watch it shine So hail on me So high and free No intrigue Just exist to feed Outspoken artist Only paints in grey His evil tends to leave His demons tend to stay Either succumb Or teeter freely on the fray There find it hard to die And yet so easy to decay Fine prey No reflex Just can't stay Acidic mesmerizing Supersonic zeal Siphoned blood runs through the veins That crank the wheel Useless creations Of a bumbling human kind Such daft communion Soon leave them all behind

about

The exact moment of Dealer’s formation is almost impossible to pin down. Lost in a fug of thick smoke, alcohol and noise; somewhere and someplace out of time and mind.

Tentatively starting out life as Sexless – featuring founding member Kevin Klausen on guitar/vocals and fellow Los Angelean Samantha Mancino on drums – the duo would make a habit of throwing open jam sessions to anyone in earshot. Years prior and by his own admission, Klausen had lost heart after numerous false starts attempting to form his own band and gave up on making music to assume the mantle of tour manager for close friends, The Shrine. Helping the band across Europe and struck by their professionalism, after years on the road he returned in the Spring of 2013 with a handful of songs and a newfound focus.

“After seeing all these straight ahead rock and roll bands everywhere we went, I was really eager to start my own project but wanted to do something totally different,” explains Klausen. “We started out as this grungy weirdo dissonant punk band. In the early days we treated it more like a sort of art statement rather than a categorical band, it was really abstract and fun but in a way very naive.”

Relocating to Oakland, Sexless performed a first few shows with whatever bassist could be landed until the night the band met Aaron Cundy of local outfit Easy Living. Followed soon after by the conscription of John Zamora on drums after the departure of Mancino they soon hit upon the sound they were seeking. Sorely shredding their way through discordant moments of pre-punk history – often in a crazed reverie of hard rock solos and cocksure hellfire – they stalked the grooves of Black Flag’s "Slip It In" and the riffs of Voivod’s "Killing Technology." All the while, sporting the sharpest Canadian tuxedos they could find.

When Zamora eventually chose to leave the band in May 2015, Klausen and Cundy sought total reformation. Drafting in new drummer Darien McKinney for shows, they performed their final gig as Sexless on the 4th of June 2016 before entering Earhammer Studios to record a debut album with producer Greg Wilkinson (Iron Lung, Graves at Sea, Lecherous Gaze) just two days later.

A proposed “cocktail of heavy metal, punk, grunge and rock and roll,” the trio emerged with "Billionaire Boys Club" in hand as Dealer. With the journey now at its end, the album will drop via Wicked World Records on the 17th of February 2017.
