Full throttle from Vancouver, BC to wherever the open road takes them, The Vicious Cycles have released their new full length, Get Wrecked, via Pirates Press Records. Before you even get the shrink wrap off the gatefold jacket, you can guess what kind of party you’re in for. The promise of debauchery carries over into song titles and as far as rip-roaring, danceable party music goes, it’s second to none, but the lyrics often go deeper than a superficial glance might indicate. Waxing philosophical with motorcycles as allegory over chrome-plated punk rock ‘n roll? That’s The Vicious Cycles‘ songwriting in a nutshell. In the end, no matter the detours, the band, along with Jesse Gander & Mariessa McLeod at Rain City Recorders, kept their eyes on the prize: sing-along choruses, handclaps, and short songs that get the job done and don’t overstay their welcome.

“Our pal Shakey Deal is the cover model, A tuff looking scrub on a minibike says a lot about who we are. We play garage/punk rock and roll songs about motorcycles. We like to have a good time. I didn’t want us to write a record that you could dance to. I wanted us to write a record that you couldn’t not dance to.” (vocalist & guitarist Billy Bones)
