With a unique mix of Shoegaze-Soundscapes, New Wave, Modern Electronica and Industrial Rock in the vein of early Nine Inch Nails, British band Officers is widely hailed as one of the “next big thing” to come out of the UK. “On The Twelve Thrones” was not only voted album of the year in Artrocker Magazine by none other than Electro-pioneer Gary Numan, but also universally praised by the British press. The band manages the tight wire act beween club-compatible electronic music, noise, solid guitar riffs and rich atmosphere with flying colors.
Gary Numan was so impressed by Officers that he invited them to support him on his UK tour in May/June 2012 and it should not take very long until this electrifying Electro-Rock-hybrid (mixed by Dave Bascombe (co-producer Depeche Mode’s “Music For The Masses”) and Tim Holmes from Death In Vegas) will take the rest of the world by storm, as well – an addictive sound machinery with tremendous addictive potential. This is not a hype … this is the real thing! The new edition of the album contains the bonus track “Petals”, a thrilling collaboration of Officers with Gary Numan.
