Album info

From 2004 until 2009 this French group from Perpignan toured the USA twice and did singles and a full LP on such exquisite labels like In The Red, Robs House and Trouble In Mind. In a Spanish castle in Valencia they recorded songs for a second album in late 2008. The album was produced by King Khan and was supposed to be released the same year on In The Red, but the band broke up and it took more than five years until Bachelor and Dusty Medical finally put these songs on a piece of vinyl. The LP features twelve blasts of infectious, guitar-driven punk that combines the catchiness of 60s beat with classic “Back From The Grave” influences through a 90s garage filter while maintaining a raw and primitive vibe. So if you wanna be rapt away by some heavy stomping beats, flashy fuzz effects, noisy guitar freak-outs and tons of great melodies you’re doin’ it right here. Sonic Chicken 4 play wild and soulful garage music in the way it was meant to be.

After releasing a string of seven inches on NASTY PRODUCT, recieving glowing reviews in magazines, webzines and blogs across the globe, and playing dates in Europe and the USA, SONIC CHICKEN 4 inked a deal with one of the leading garage punk record labels, IN THE RED, to release their first full-length back in 2007. The album got raving reviews so the band decided to tour the USA in 2009.

Then they did singles on ROBS HOUSE and TROUBLE IN MIND and recorded another full length that was supposed to come out in 2009 just in time for another US adventure, this one with appearances at Goner Fest 6 (Memphis) and Scion Fest (Portland). When this tour began, the album was postponed by the label. They went back to Europe to do another month of touring… and the album was postponed again… and until now it never came out. In 2010 the band slowly stopped its activity… stopped playing live and stopped practicing.

Years later Dusty Medical Records (Milwaukee, MI) and Bachelor Records (Austria) rediscovered this „lost“ 12 song masterpiece, a garage punk gem from a looong forgotten time. Yes its true, only about 5 years ago this thing we call Garage Punk sounded a lot different! That was before this genre was washed down by hipsters, before it was cool to shake bums to primitive beats. Before garage punk bands had booking agencies, five-page hospitality riders and tuners…

Album info

From Perpignan, France comes the Sonic Chicken 4 with their long awaited, self-titled debut album. After releasing a string of seven inches which have received glowing reviews in zines, webzines and blogs across the globe, and playing dates in Europe and the US, SC4 have agreed to let In The Red release their first full-length. The band plays a fuzzy, ultra primitive brand of garage stomp that owes equally to 60’s pop, VU, Back From The Grave comps, girl groups and Jaques DuTronc.
