“Paradise (What About Us?)”  will be released as an EP, containing four new songs.In addition to Paradise (What About Us?), the EP will contain demo versions of three brand new songs: “Let Us Burn”, “Silver Moonlight” and “Dog Days”. By releasing these demos we want to invite you in our home studio and show how we capture song ideas at an early stage of creating a new album. These demo versions are far from their final sound on the album, but will give you a hint of what we’re working on. It will be fascinating to hear how the end result will sound like, once the album is released. We hope to make the waiting time for the new album a little shorter and sweeter with this release. It’s so exciting to share the different stages of our music with you. Stay tuned for more important news on the EP. The EP Paradise (What About Us?), will be released on Friday September 27th world wide and on October 1st in North America.

Somehow we just knew we had to make music. Problem was we couldn't play and didn't have any instruments.

Described by Sweden's national tabloid Expressen as "a perfect union of Front 242 and the B-52's," Swedish electronic punk group Cat Rapes Dog is back with their first album since 1999. The new album, dubbed Life Was Sweet, is the seventh Cat Rapes Dog studio release and first on label Artoffact. The band gets right to the point and stays true to their punk rock roots, rarely pausing and skipping all filler. The album clocks in at a "fits on vinyl" 35 minutes, but in this short space Cat Rapes Dog will tell you to go out and vote, give you a lesson in religion, and baffle you with a sense of humour all their own.

Thus they can now, in 2013, look back on a musical history of 25 years.
