“MIDASUNO CRAM SO MANY IDEAS INTO EACH SONG... THE UNDERDOGS ARE BACK" – ROCKSOUND”
Following on from 2006’s “’Til Death Do Us Party” , Midasuno - Merthyr Tydfil’s other favourite sons, release their long awaited full length debut long player – “Songs In The Key Of Fuck”. With years of relentless live performances and touring behind them, the band originally entered Nick Lloyd’s Strongbox back in June 2005 to begin work on what would become their first proper length album. The band’s insistence to work with Lloyd came from solitary single day demo session – from which the band found someone who came closer than anyone in helping to achieve their sonic goals. The drive to make this happen was such that it even involved the band struggling free of their record contract at the time to allow the recording to start.

Several line-up changes, the search for a label, mental breakdowns, a haphazard recording schedule, dire financial difficulties and even complete relocation of the band’s studio’s premises, “Songs…” proved to become a nightmare project to undertake and complete. 2006 saw the band hastily release some taster material in the shape of “’Til Death Do Us Party” – designed to whet the appetite and allow the band to continue to buy more time to pull all resources together to attempt to finish the record.

The final notes to tape and mixing took place in April 2007, and has resulted in what the band consider as a true work of art. Adhering to the original idea of writing an album that consisted purely of single worthy material, The notion was carried out and the band believe that “Songs…” sounds almost like a greatest hits collection – all killer, no filler so to speak. Each song possessing its own identity within the album, showcasing a band with almost too many ideas running wild. From the riffs ‘ n techno amalgam of opener “Sister Temptation” to the wall of noise during the epic punk finale of “Sleepwalkers” – The music will do the talking for Midasuno.
