Dayton, Ohio, art punk legends Brainiac and Touch & Go Records have announced the release of another Brainiac archival release, The Predator Nominate EP, on January 20, 2023.
About the release, Touch & Go says, “Now, in 2023, comes the latest missive of the archive, harkening back to the band’s latter era – and their most prolific and confident period. The Predator Nominate EP is a celebration of what was to come before the tragic exit of ringleader / singer Timmy Taylor. Listen to these realized demos and imagine what only could have been the confident seed of what the group might be capable of in this future century versus the last one. The world will never truly know.”
While never slated for release, the music here is the most distilled crystallization of what was happening during and directly after Electro-Shock for President. This exclusive material, sourced from a single cassette, is a celebration of what was to come before the tragic exit of ringleader / singer Timmy Taylor. Listen to these unrealized demos and imagine what only could have been the confident seed of what the group might be capable of in this future century versus the last one. The world will never truly know.
