New Norwich band Mega Emotion (ME) pleasingly sound like a parallel universe version of New Order who signed to 4AD and made out with both Deal sisters (hi Kim xxx)! ME is made up of three former members of an awesome yet now disbanded Norwich group who have just released ‘Brains’, their brilliant debut single that’s accompanied by the inspired Ross Sutherland (RS) video below:
RS commented: “…the
release of the first single from Mega Emotion ... Because we are mates, I
got the honour of making their first music video! Its cobbled together VHS
footage from all college football games (mostly around 1979-1983)... I’m not
sure why! The song is called ‘Brains’ so I just liked the idea of setting it to
young men getting their heads kicked in.”
Born of a desire to make dance
music and a love for guitar-based rawness, ME embarked on an energetic sequenced
drum-spattered odyssey of chaos and precision that all started in the beautiful
Norfolk countryside! Amidst the musical mayhem
there’s also an abundance of strings and synthesisers that are locked in a heated
battle-ready blitz of good vibes and versatility!
ME are already
earning BBC airplay and single of the week accolades from outlets such as The
405, who somewhat affectionately said "Brains
starts like Blondie and soon becomes something different. Part Pixies
noise-fest, part 80s synth sunset. I fucking love this song. It makes me want
to rip out my shitty broken spine and flop around on a dance floor having fun.” Nice!
Intrigued? You can next see and hear the delectable ME do their thang (ahead of
their UK tour in November) at the Hare
& Hounds in Birmingham on Sep 28 (see above poster for details). You can even send your name, address and sizing
preference with a £10 payment to PayPal (me@megaemotion.co.uk)
and buy a hand-made,
pride-inducing ME t-shirt to strut your stuff in on the night!

Finally, this has nothing to do with the band, but it made me giggle a and I couldn't stand the thought of all the sleep I'd lose if I didn't do the right thing and share it with y'all! I'm sure ME will forgive me if I remind everyone that Lisa and the rest of the band are every bit as tasty as the namesake Nestle snack that I've sneaked in below!
