***This is the second album by THE MONSIEURS, from Brookline, MA. It is called Deux, and if you were expecting anything other than the heaping pile of distorted real rock’n’roll mess that you’ve come to know and love from ANDY "CALIFORNIA" MACBAIN and crew, then you’ve got another thing comin’ pal o’ mine. You get NOTHING new here but a fresh batch of tunes that somehow hasn’t been pulled out of the pop swamp song book ass until now, delivered with the violent abandon of a dirty rat front man and the two bruising blonde foxes that are his driving force. It’s never not a good time to slap a record like this on, and it’s always a good time when you slap a record like this on. (STREET DATE - 12/01/2017)

***NOW AVAILABLE ON VINYL!!! Black Gladiator busted out the gate hard in 2010 with our first release: a reissue of the awe-inspiring crudfest “Rockin’ Rollin’ Bitches” LP by Brookline, MA’s TUNNEL OF LOVE. Two years later we continued to spread this unique brand of ear piercing whomp with an LP release by TOL member ANTHONY MACBAIN’s THE PSYCHED project. Now, in 2014, we’re still in the game of furthering this demented agenda with THE MONSIEURS. This is Anthony’s older brother ANDY’s forte and peak, as the musically tortured leader and originator of Tunnel of Love. With The Monsieurs, Macbain has fine-tuned his horrific delivery and concept without sacrificing any dBs. With the man himself solely on vocals and backed by two blonde bombshells, HILKEN MANCINI and ERIN KING on guitar and drums respectively, The Monsieurs are unleashing indubitable rockin’ rollin’ noise with sharp aesthetics, aggression and a perfect amount of pop sensibility, making this platter just palatable enough for those too timid to take the plunge into Tunnel of Love’s sonic cesspool. CDs in six-panel digipaks, LP includes an insert.
