Stalkers - Yesterday Is No Tomorrow

The title track from their debut album ‘Yesterday Is No Tomorrow’ is released as a single through One Little Indian on November 19th 2007 to coincide with the tour.  The 7” is limited to 500 copies only.

The release of their debut album ‘Yesterday Is No Tomorrow’ is set for January 14th 2008.  The album features the single, as well as two tracks released in the UK in March, setting the tone for that rough-diamond gem of an album, probably the most debauched, unashamedly carefree set of songs you’re likely to hear all year. The antidote to the art-punk scene, and for those fans who prefer their music a bit more good-time drinking, shouting, sweating and having the time of your life, they are a blast of fresh air.   The first taster UK audiences got to Brooklyn punk rockers Stalkers was the double a-sided single ‘Lets Get It Together/Circus Baby’, with only 1000 sought-after copies pressed and released in the UK in March.  Time Out described the release as “Single of the Year thus far by some distance.”

Variously describing themselves as Denny Wilson riding through the woods drunk on a dirtbike, The Beatles but better, or, erm, a studded leather fist slamming into a junior high school locker, an argument over music tastes would bring them together.  Beardy frontman Andy Animal fought the cause of everything from the Beach Boys to the Damned, whilst drummer Josh Styles – vintage vinyl record collector – strong-armed the virtues of garage rock. So opposed were they, they shook hands on forming their own band, with Danny Goldshtein (bass) and Lefty Maynard (guitar) completing the line up.  Their very first live performance was in 2003, brazenly offering support to punk legend TV Smith.  They have been a live draw in NYC’s rock’n’roll underbelly ever since, earning a reputation for the wildest shows in town.  It hasn’t made them rich (yet), they’ve kept on the day jobs (labourer, fork-lift truck driver…), but when they clock off, they know how to let go.
