Love Zombies – Passionfruit

Love Zombies are an international band which formed when American singer Hollis Mahady met New Zealander Davey Fitzsimon at a gig in London.  Together they formed a band that can best be described as Blondie meets the Ramones.
Passionfruit is their debut album and was funded via a Pledgemusic campaign which quickly reached it’s target thanks to having built up a strong fanbase based on their live shows.  Love Zombies are a great live band and went down very well at Download festival this year, but how are they on CD?

Well the answer is they’ve released a fantastic album.  The songs are short (the longest is three and a half minutes, the shortest is just over two and a half) – like most singles used to be , and that’s a good way to think of the album – a collection of songs that could easily be singles.  That short duration for each song means there’s no padding, all you get is songs stripped down to the bare essentials and that means they’re ridiculously catchy.

Check out the first single from the album – Birthday…

It’s a great album, a mix of pop and punk that is incredibly catchy.
