Melb Act Mannequin Death Squad Sign UK Release Deal

Melburnian scuzz-punk twosome Mannequin Death Squad are further expanding their global reach, freshly inking a deal with UK-based indie label Integrity Records for the release of their single Sick, as well as a forthcoming mini-album.

The ferocious, two-minute-long Sick will make its way into the world on Integrity from 10 June, available for our English friends to get their hands on from all good digital stores then — but you can sneak in a listen now.

MDS join fellow Melbourne crew Valentiine in bolstering Integrity's reach Down Under, as well as their reputation for clearly having a nose for quality Aussie tunes. 

If you're only just discovering MDS, though, your chances at seeing them on home turf any time soon are severely limited; they have one final show planned in Australia before they take off for a tour of the UK and Europe, for which they will be gone for quite some time.

Before they bail, though, if you're in travelling proximity to Baha Tacos, in Rye, get along on Friday 13 May to farewell Mannequin Death Squad for their journey ahead, with support from Meeks and Dragons. First drink is free, and it's 10 bucks at the door.

See the band's Facebook page for more info on the gig and to keep tabs on their movements abroad.
