‘Snake Magnet’ will be released on Monday 13th July 2009 on CD/DVD digipak and all major download sites. The first 100 preorders come with an individual limited, hand drawn numbered and signed piece of artwork taken from the Leather Penny Video Shoot.

Press:

“If you like Shellac and Fugazi, consider Kong the toxic shock syndrome version; they will more than likely please your ears but definitely give you a side of nausea. How do I know? Cos I’ve got a copy of their hideously good debut album ‘Snake Magnet’ playing right now. Check it out upon its release on July 13th or I’ll send a scary baboon round to your gaff to set your eyelids on fire. Just messing. I’ll send Kong” – NME

“One of the best live bands in the UK right now” – Dan Carter BBC Radio 1

“Welcome to Kong's world. It's a world of heavy punk and cellotaped faces (leading to pretty scary gigs). You'd be mad not to enter – and you'll probably leave it madder still” Artrocker

“Manchester mob definitively kick the pop out of the punk with this raw and abrasive track with a hefty dose of Fugazi lurking beneath the surface.” Kerrang

"Kong might just be the best band in Britain right now. Ferociously powerful, stunningly inventive, and equal doses of scary and humorous." Dirtyzine



Tickets here:



Kong is not a name chosen by accident. It does not describe an effeminate collection of callow fuckers thrust together by a desire to look plucked or sound eager to please.

All are/were/shall be in other, perhaps more commercially viable bands, which is notable only because it fills out their biography and creates the impression of a deeper back-story, which becomes, by definition, massively interesting to idiots. Yes, Nancy was in Jane's Addiction, and Milicent founded ITV.

Kong's music, such as it is, takes all the risibly obnoxious elements of lots of very loud, credible bands, feeds it non-brand specific lager, then comes on it in its sleep.

In truth, they are difficult band to describe unless you're a music journalist, in which case you'd probably pick a large animal (elephant, dinosaur or a fantastical creature of myth) and put it in an unusual place (Middlesbrough) with predictably madcap results.

In summary - the first time I saw them play I felt a burning sensation on my arm and realised that I had developed eczema.

Hallo!
 
Wir nehmen an der Aktion Nazis aus dem Takt bringen teil. Mit unserem Song Kopfkino treten wir dafür ein, Grenzen des Denkens abzubauen und kritisch mit sich selbst umzugehen, um Ignoranz und Hass zu überwinden. Mit einem Klick auf folgenden Banner gelangt ihr auf die Seite, auf der ihr für uns stimmen könnt. Man kann bis zum 10.7. täglich seine Stimme abgeben. Das geht ganz schnell und vielleicht können wir dann schon bald auf einem großen Konzert mit vielen namhaften Künstlern unsere Kunde verbreiten. Wir würden uns wahnsinnig über Deine Unterstützung freuen!

Having my wisdom-teeth extracted the same day the album is released on the 13th. Is this some kind of cosmic co-winky-dink? Looking forward to coming round from a general anaesthetic and listening to some good shit!
