The Fluids release debut LP, plays Mercury Lounge on 10/26

Brooklyn post-punk rockers The Fluids continue to share tracks leading up to the release of their debut album “No Kidding!”. While initial singles “Creatures and “Sign N’ Drive” provided early insight, more recent focus on deeper tracks point to a complete full length recording.  Utilizing an extended keyboard intro and siren-like effect, “Just Like Me” (streaming below) ultimately bursts out as a full-on guitar, bass and drums stomper.  While the vocal inflections have accurately drawn comparisons to Berlin-era Bowie, the band’s full, expansive sound is in part reminiscent of early aughts post-punk revivalists Interpol but also ’80s icons The Psychedelic Furs.  The album is available 10/27 on Axis Mundi Records, with the release party on Thursday October 26th at the Mercury Lounge. – Dave Cromwell
