Demob Happy announce their debut single, "Succubus", with the news of their headline tour commencing this month.
Frontman Matt Marcantonio said: "'Succubus' is about being sold an obsession in stuff. What's harmless to you feels like a love sucking demon bitch to me, quasi-supernaturally so, who leaves your front door open but your mind on pause." Gritty, grubby and dangerously infectious, "Succubus" is an early taste of what's to come from this exciting new Brighton-based band. The single is due for release via the band’s own label, Milk Parlour Records, on 17 November with 7" and digital download options. It's b-sided with a cover of Technohead’s 90s rave anthem, "I Wanna Be A Hippy".
