NEON ZOO
Rock from Neon Zoo


MUSIC


Sins Of The Flesh by Neon Zoo
Preview and Download from iTunes Holier Than Thou Records

Neon Zoo's sexy, innovative blend of electronic beats, guitars and velvety vocals are set to take the alternative scene by storm. Their story began when accomplished musician and songwriter, Rick Alexander, decided to start pushing musical boundaries. With a love of dance and all things techno, and a solid background in guitar-based rock he began to create a new, addictive genre and make it his own.

Soon, the perfect team were in place to deliver a sound that combines the energy and drive of alternative rock with seductive vocals and massive dance floor highs.

But the sound of Neon Zoo is not their only attraction. Rick is determined that the bands live performances are visually enticing. This is no faceless dance act or shoe-gazing band. Instead, Neon Zoo is in-your-face sexy and full of attitude.

Neon Zoo formed in 2004. The first show was in May 2004 and have been playing live continually since. Late in 2004 the recording began of debut album Heaven Sin, the title track of which appeared on the cover cd of the Winter 04/05 edition of Kaleidoscope Magazine.

The debut album Heaven Sin was released through Forked Tongue Records in April 2005. This was produced by Mike Uwins of Darkwave band Manuskript. Mike also plays guitar in the Neon Zoo live shows.

Neon Zoo have played extensively including Nottingham Rock City, London Edge Olympia, the Lumous festival in Finland, Carnival of Souls and Whitby Gothic Weekend

Reviews

Rather decent lush restrained intelligent dark wave electro goth rock for people who like things like Inaura or maybe a not so hard nine Inch Nails – they do it rather well. Nice artwork toooooooo -- ORGAN MAGAZINE --

Heaven Sin is a lavishly packaged 12 song album that revels in the technology that was used to create it. there is a solid sense of power behind each of these songs, and a depth and complexity of sound which is mesmerising….a vast slab of development and evocative soundscapes..-- SANDMAN UK --

Heaven Sin has a lot going for it, a kind of indie industrial. Neon Zoo play with maturity and a multitude of influences and their apply their samples with a freshness not so often herd in these days of perfecto programming. --
ROCK SOUND UK -- “

Heaven Sin 'The brand new Neon Zoo CD sounds... grrrrreat! Or should I say "even better than that!" An album full of quality songs. Good job boys. Must listen more.' DJ Heidi -

Schatten Club 'A brilliant debut album, one of the best upcoming bands for a long time' -- FUNERAL NATION

A new and exciting band from the Midlands (UK). This is the title track from the band’s debut album, and one which is bound to become one of the alternative anthems of 2005. Be among the first to visit the Neon Zoo and indulge in a little Heaven Sin.' -- Kaleidoscope magazine (review of cover mounted track, Heaven Sin) --

'It’s about time we heard a decent industrial rock band. There haven’t been any good new ones to tear the world apart in quite a while. But now Neon Zoo have been unleashed and come with an album in the works entitled Heaven Sin, chockful of electronic samples, fuzzy pumping beats and a ghostly, gothic air.' --
Black Velvet magazine

'Finally a new, bright light shines from the black cloud that has been the UK scene for so long. This band WILL make a difference.' -- DJ CT (UK alternative club DJ)--

Good stuff , very playable, yet still has that delicious dark edge without being to far out there.
The production is very polished. “Darkest Dance” has the edge entering in our playlist chart at number 18.
