Since forming in Western Massachusetts in 2015, Jackie 'Jackiboy' McDermott and Dick Riddick have been smashing out bizarro drum-machine punk and odd videos under the name Urochromes.
Led by turtlenecked vocalist McDermott, who also performs in noisey/no wave act The Sediment Club and solo as Mark Cone, the two have earned a reputation as one of the oddest and more interesting punk bands operating in the US.
The story goes that McDermott's initial concept was that of a Jewish New Yorker stand-up comedian who's found himself fronting a punk outfit. There's certainly some humour in the music. There's definitely a lot of punk.
Though Jackiboy has moved to Los Angeles, the band continues to blaze with the Night Bully EP on Wharf Cat records. It's an EP that goes hard. The A-side contains three bonkers punk songs including "My Dickies" where Riddick goes ham on guitar, while the B-Side "Night Bully" hunkers down into a more industrial punk arrangement and sound that has been likened to to Chrome. It also includes a remix by electronic gloom masters Boy Harsher.
