about

The Pleasures of Despair goes electric! The debut studio EP comprises all-new, full electric versions of 'Smoke It Like A Cigarette' and 'Ragdoll' along with the ripping new 'Black Dog Howlin'' and the Suicide Notes' very own take on 'On The Rocks'.

CD jewel case featuring exclusive cover art by Billy Tee.

Recorded at Woodworm Studios. Engineered by Stuart Jones and produced by Stuart Jones and the Suicide Notes. Mastered by Tim Turan at Turan Audio.

"The Suicide Notes are the band that those of us that love filthy, sleazy rock have been waiting for, whether they are going in bareback like on the acoustic or fully armoured like here, their brilliance cannot be hidden, or indeed overstated. 9/10" - Andy Thorley, Maximum Volume Music.

"From the first downstroke of Alex Holmes’ snarling six-string and thwump of Damien Beale’s massively bottom-ended bass sound, this is rock ‘n’ roll party central, with the joint well and truly jumpin’ as all the cool cats groove and jive their way around the (virtual) dancefloor to this infectious collection of earworms and hip-swayers. The Suicide Notes prove, once again, that rock ‘n’ roll won’t be writing any of those particular missives any time soon, at least as long it is in the hands of those who love it and know to caress and nurture it." - DJ Monk, Uber Rock.

"The wait has been worth it. The Suicide Notes have delivered a beautiful and inspiring EP, with effortless creativity and plenty of that gritty, sleazy rock ‘n’ roll, that few can muster today. Both Electric and Acoustic versions are incredible and when the present situation is all over, go and see them live, they are unique onstage and thoroughly entertaining." - Diane Davies, MMH Radio.

"Rock n’ Roll swagger is hardly uncommon. Yet, all too infrequently is it as bona fide as what The Suicide Notes effortlessly exude with their deviously trashy take on Sleaze Rock. Each of the four tracks on their debut EP The Pleasures of Despair offer an instantaneous hit of catharsis for the nefarious. Or, just anyone who appreciates their music as filthy as Post Malone’s bathwater." - Amelia Vandergast, ANR Factory.

about

The Suicide Notes image

The Suicide Notes Witney, UK

UK Gutter-trash rock n' roll. Buzzsaw guitars and raw nicotine-soaked vocals, rock 'n' roll swagger, and whiskey on the rocks. The illegitimate sons of punk and sleaze, conceived on a bed of red wine, cigarettes, and back alley attitude.
