Four-piece north London outfit the I.D are set to release their debut double A-side single "Bloodsweat And Honour" / "Own Designed Love" on October 29 2012.
There's a distinct retro feel here, not surprising given the band's musical influences lay in the sounds of the late 70′s and early 80’s. Coupled with an appreciation of the ideals of Dadaists, the I.D deliver their own slant on the post-punk manifesto.
After having released the free download "Age Anti Age" earlier this year, "Bloodsweat And Honour"/ "Own Designed Love" are two tracks which showcase an intense unity. Coloured with a melancholic undertone, the intricate lyrics, the angular guitars and the unique voice bring the listener a great deal of energy. Think Gang Of Four and The Cure with a twist of modern day finesse and find yourself tapping thumbs and feet along to the I.D.
Take a listen to "Bloodsweat And Honour" here:
To accompany the release of the single, the band will be playing several live dates in London at:
October 19 - Barfly, London
November 14 - The Waiting Room, London
December 1 - Barfly, London
