Atlanta's rock n' roll punks BITERS, whose new studio album, 'The Future Ain't What It Used to Be' was released Friday, have unveiled a brand new video for lead single, "Stone Cold Love". Watch the clip, directed by longtime collaborator Video Rahim, here - http://youtu.be/slBjGh00Yec
BITERS recently returned home after blazing a trail across the UK and Europe with their electrifying live shows. Their 24-date tour supporting labelmates BLACKBERRY SMOKE saw them playing to over 50,000 music fans, including a date at London's iconic Roundhouse.
BITERS frontman Tuk tells us about how "Stone Cold Love" came to be; "I sat down with my buddy Scott (Stevens) to write a tune. We sat for hours trying to come up with something that felt perfect, but were hitting a dead end. We said 'fuck it' and went to his local hang out, ate some cornbread, drank a few beers and talked about music. We spoke about T. Rex, Queen and Slade, shit like that, how cool those big drum grooves were. Right then a light bulb went off and we headed back to the studio with a fresh start and within hours finished writing the song, demoed it and tracked lead vocals! I was so fucking delirious I couldn't tell if it was good or not. A few weeks later, Scott sent me the finished demo while I was on tour in Kansas. I remember cranking it in the van outside of this fake old wild west town and thinking, 'Goddamn, this is so good!'"
'The Future Ain't What It Used to Be' was produced by Dan Dixon and is the follow-up to 2015's critically acclaimed 'Electric Blood'. You can grab the album digitally at iTunes - http://bit.ly/bitersfuture-itunes or pick up signed copies, bundles and lovely vinyl from http://www.earache.com/biters

This is why I don't buy anything off your label anymore. This is not what the original Earache was about; the Biters are not at all like the bands that started this label.
You might as well be EMI.
