The Bloody Beetroots: New Single 'My Name Is Thunder'
The Bloody Beetroots announce the release of his new double single, 'My Name Is Thunder', featuring Australian rockers, Jet. This is the first track he has shared following his signing to Last Gang Records, and will appear on his forthcoming album to be released later this year.
"I knew this song needed a certain rock tone... a tone like Nic Cester of Jet had. We thought instead of someone 'like Nic Cester,' how about we get the real Nic Cester! Thinking he would be in Australia, it was fate that he lived just a couple hours away from me in Italy. I found him" says The Bloody Beetroots' Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo. "We worked together, ate together, drank together and created something very powerful together. Around this time the Jet guys stared talking and thinking about getting back together, when Nic shared this with his bandmates, the idea came up to have ALL of Jet involved. Because of our different influences, we had different ideas on the mixing and from that, we came up with two versions. It's the best of both our worlds!"
The double single arrives to represent the various genres that define The Bloody Beetroots, with the first version driven by ethereal vibes and an electronic beat and pulse, while the other is led by heavy synths and Jet's gritty rock and roll.
