I've pretty much already done all the blogging / playing on radio / hyping and general banter about this band I can, but now that I've started this blog I have to get these guys in here somewhere.
These New Puritans released Beat Pyramid a couple of years back and it was totally representative of the scene from which they were born - that Shoreditch rave fest that included the like of Klaxons a few years back. They pinnacled with 'Elvis', an industrially dark disco track that makes you wanna rave in a cave with black hoods and perform some sort of ritual or something.
Anyway, Hidden totally continues this caped crusader lineage with drums so large one would think they've attached steel chains to them or employed a brass band bass drummer. 'We Want War' and 'Attack Music' are apocalyptic tracks for what (if you pay any attention to the lyrical subject matter) they believe to be post-apocalyptic times.
AND, the video for 'We Want War', below, is a continuation of their darkly spiritual quest:
