Although Bunnies On Ponies forthcoming album Heat Death Of The Universe is a follow up of sorts to the Samuel F. Scott & The B.O.P album Straight Answer Machine, HDOTU is actually something of a departure for The Phoenix Foundation front-person.
“I was recovering from a back injury that kept me off my feet for
6 weeks. It was
pretty shit. I found that the only music I wanted to listen to was the music
of my
teenage years; The Breeders, Nirvana, Weezer, Pavement etc. As I emerged
from
a cloud of prescribed painkillers the desire to play really loud guitar was
overwhelming,” says Scott.
Bunnies On Ponies is Samuel F. Scott on vocals and guitar, Tom Callwood on
bass
and vocals and Craig Terris on drums and vocals. They have made three albums
together but this is the first where they have written together and recorded
live as
a three piece for the entire record. The album was conceived and written over
two
weeks, with Lee Prebble at the Surgery and is buzzes with an intensity that
harks back
to The Phoenix Foundation’s – Happy Ending album.
“..this has the kind of unselfconscious, rockin’ feel you’d expect.” – Public Address
“Heat Death is going to be a great summer album. Regardless of the season,
or need for a
reason. It’s required listening. Infectious, interesting, dynamic – always
smart enough and a lot of fun”. – Off The Tracks
