"Refute
Fake Icons is intelligent, inventive, tuneful and confident, and
it has bucketloads of style. If you like electro with a kick or
a slickness to your rock 'n' roll, I would swiftly point you in
100 Bullets Back's direction" Drowned
In Sound
100 Bullets Back are not short of pure pop classics. This new unsigned 2 piece unit from Oxford are coming on in leaps, tunes, beats and bounds thanks to a classic debut single, some infectiously great shows and a stylish debut album.
Gaining
momentum, Noel Pearson (vocals, guitars, additional
keyboard) and David Clayton (synthesisers, keyboard,
backing vocals) released their debut album 'Refute
Fake Icons' (Velocity Recordings) on 26th September
05. Having already gained four weeks play on the world's largest
radio station KROQ, these 13 tracks of sussed, new age electro
sonic pop, form a sound experience to move both your ears and
your feet.
100
Bullets Back firmly planted the flag with the release
of their limited edition debut 7" ‘The Lost Souls Club’
(05.04.04, Velocity Recordings). The six minutes of 21st century
POP quickly raised eyebrows and interest in them from London to
Los Angeles. Grab your flak jacket because their attack on the
future has begun.
Enjoying
the buzz ‘The Lost Souls Club’ / ‘Violence’
created (continually play listed for 2 months by Rodney Bingenheimer
on KROQ in LA and championed on XFM), 100 Bullets Back continue
to pick up interest. A second single ‘I KnOw / Bangkok’
(30.08.04, Velocity Recordings) saw interest in the band spread
into Europe with airplay in Spain, Italy, France, Germany and
Serbia.
The
autumn and winter of 2005 sees 100 Bullets Back
gigging relentlessly around the country, steadily increasing and
educating their fan base to their infectious electro-pop wizardry.
Past shows include support slots with The Zutons, Dogs Die in
Hot Cars, Bloc Party, TV On The Radio, Chikinki and Tom Vek.
This is a sussed, new age electro sonic
sound experience. Fantastic pop tinged with 21st century artfully
NOW!

"…100
Bullets Back are good good good, they're making some kind of attitude
laden new romantic pop that keeps threatening to turn in to Heaven
17 or Visage or a flock of housing estate seagulls (in a cool
kind of way)...Synth pop with attitude...Cool as F electro synth
