Street Creatüre are a horror band formed in the shadows of the pandemic, four individuals with one vision of captivating its audience with sleazy rock sounds reminiscent of the LA Sunset Strip, whilst adding in the horrific visuals of an 80’s B Grade Horror. The band take a collective influence from the greats of ‘Shock Rock’ in Alice Cooper, Kiss and Motley Crue, whilst adding in individual tastes from Hardcore Superstar, Guns N Roses and Wednesday 13.
Their debut single ‘Heart Shaped Stain’ complete with video, is set to be released on the next full moon, 23rd July 2021, whether you’re a ghoul or a goblin, this is a track for you. The band have pulled their energy and drive from the undead, clawing through the mounds of dirt and have risen with the Creatüre, to bring to you a high energy Punk track that is filled with a catchy hook and gang vocals that scream to be sung back across the veil.
The track tells the tale of being caught in a beautiful yet dangerous woman’s snare, every time you try to escape and release yourself from her web, she lures you back in for more. Originally written by OD Winters (vocals), it was brought to one of the earliest sessions, Street Creatüre quickly made the track their own, with Scotty Maxx (guitar) adding in a solo that fitted both his style and the song. Capturing the vibe of the band and energy of the track, the single artwork was created by ‘David Paul Seymour’ whose works have adorned material by legends such as Slayer, Mastodon, Opeth and The Sword.
‘Heart Shaped Stain’ was recorded and produced by TroyNababan (Ragdoll) at Hammerspace Recording, whilst mastered was completed by Paul Logan at PLX Mastering (Stone Sour, Steel Panther, Amon Amarth, Fozzy, Dimebag Darrell, Corey Taylor, Public Enemy and Bowling For Soup, etc)
Set to be released simultaneously, the music video is centered around a 15 second animation clip that OD had commissioned, it shows the band members as the undead, rising from their graves. The task of creating the concept and producing the video was entrusted to bass player Elle Jay via Drakoru Productions who had already been creating promotional videos for ‘The Creatüre’. This became her first credit as a Director/Producer for a Music Video, alongside Caris Morcombe (Of A Feather Photography) in her first role as Director of Photography. Filmed at Johnny Ma Studios, the video will be premiered on their You Tube Channel, which also includes their ‘Creature Feature’ Series.
