“WEAK13” Band Press Release: Monday April 29th 2013

Unsigned British band WEAK13 have released a sneak preview of their forthcoming debut studio album (which is currently in production) and have surprised fans and critics by releasing a music video titled ‘Sex Pest’. Their new song ‘Sex Pest’ has been released exclusively onto YouTube and is, in the bands own words, “A small example of what is to come from the album” which is being produced by Birmingham (UK) engineer and Eight Great Fears guitarist John Stewart. ‘Sex Pest’ becomes WEAK13’s tenth music video and has already been well received from close associates of the band who cite it as “Their best song yet”. Rock icon Andrew W.K.stated that WEAK13′s demo was “Badass” and remarked that “If aliens tried to make rock music, it might sound like this”. The comments were made in the English rock magazine Kerrang! and marks the band’s debut appearance within the pages. The song is not available for download. However the YouTube music video is the first glimpse of the much awaited and secretive forthcoming album.

The WEAK13 debut studio album, which is currently in production and will feature ‘Sex Pest’, remains untitled and is hoped to be completed late 2013. Album engineer John Stewart explains “I’ve enjoyed very much speaking to each of the band who know exactly what they want from their sound, and that can be challenging but also exciting. Nick and I also have a very similar musical starting point and love a lot of the same kinds of music, so that connection is invaluable. Wesley has such an eclectic taste and is very aware how the bass as an instrument sits in all types of different musical genres. Neel has been fantastic and is prepared to take time to get his drum technique captured (I’m not just talking, sound, I’m talking style)” [Quote – John Stewart March 26th 2013].

WEAK13 vocalist and guitarist Nick J.Townsend was injured during the filming of the band’s new ‘Sex Pest’ music video. The front man collided with a cameraman and received a powerful blow to the head after coming into contact with the camera which resulted in him being thrown across the floor of the film set in full view of the extras and production team. At the time of the accident the singer songwriter assured everyone that he was totally okay and able to continue with the filming, later on it was discovered that he had totally ignored health and safety and hid a mild concussion.

The following day Nick J.Townsend was lectured by the company which undertook the direction and camera work (Fifty Seven Studio) for allowing them to continue with the filming of the music video (of which he was the producer of) as they were very concerned about his safety. Despite the injury, he carried on for two hours and all the work for the music video was completed. The finished music video can now be seen on YouTube. Extras and the production team were all stunned when they saw Nick fly across the room, had he not been wearing a straight-jacket at the time of the filming he may have been able to have avoided the accident.

All filming took place in the town of Stourbridge (England) on February 9th earlier this year at the music complex Base Studios and featured an impressive turnout of special guests including members from the bands Left For Red, Police Bastard, Birthrite, Massive Head Trauma, Spearmint6, Beloved Breakdown, Kerosene Queen plus metal DJ Jimmy Darko. The music video itself was produced by Nick J.Townsend.

In an interview for their Australian fan site, WEAK13 drummer Neel Parmar gave his opinion so far on the recording process of Sex Pest and the new material for the album “John Stewart is probably one of the only guys who could ever be up for the task of knowing the current sound of WEAK13!! While keeping our own individual sounds and personalities on the tracks he has also found a way of making it all come together in what can only be described as an outburst of old-school grunge with a big hit of crazy!!”
