As announced previously, Thee Alcoholics are following February's release of 'Feedback' – with their second slab of vinyl of 2024 – the ferocious 'Bear Bites Horse Sessions'. Twelve tracks recorded live in Wayne Adams (Petbrick) legendary, London studio.
Listen to the repetitive attack of 'A&E' – the second song to be revealed from 'Bear Bites Horse Sessions' above.
Rhys from Thee Alcoholics said this about the track:
"A&E catches some triple guitar swagger with call outs to those tough guys with big opinions. Assholes & Egos sit down."
'Bear Bites Horse Sessions' is available to preorder on 'Studio Tea' colour vinyl and it's ltd to only 250 copies worldwide:

Thee Alcoholics may have started life as the home-birthed brainchild of Rhys Llewellyn (Hey Colossus/Acidliner/Drmcnt), yet an evolution since has proven the ultimate form of this beastly creation to be the live arena. In assembling cohorts to turn these visceral jams into something to shake rafters and rattle pint-glasses, new frontiers of ornery intensity have made themselves manifest, and such is the form of the monstrous 'Bear Bites Horse Sessions', a live-in-the-studio document recorded with Wayne Adams at 'Bear Bites Horse' studio in Haggerston, London, chronicling a band breathing life into a Stoogian paradigm, and doing so apparently whilst barely breaking a sweat.
Taking essential elixirs of in-the-red mania, hypnotic repetition and deathless swagger, these twelve jams walk a crooked path that neighbours the nihilistic vortex of Loop, the saturnine lurch of The Fall and the deadpan derangement of The Heads but remains possessed of a maverick charisma and mischief all its own.
