When it comes to details about the band Tetsuo, I’m pretty much entirely ignorant. What I do know is that “Banshee Mansion” off of their last album, These Crystals Don’t Burn, remains in high rotation for me.

Now it appears that they’ve got another album ready to unleash on the world and they’ve put the whole thing up on Soundcloud. Tetsuo is the Violators contains the same snarling rock swagger as the previous album but delivered in a less manic manner. They’re still snide but that sneer is more focused now.

Once I get some more exact details on the album – verified album title, release date, cover art, etc – I’ll be sure to share it here. In the meantime, listen to the whole thing.

The Ettes will release Wicked Will on August 2nd. You can preview the track “The Pendulum” on Soundcloud or check out “Excuse” on iTunes. When you’re done with that be sure to check out their ongoing YouTube series promoting the album.. they are goofy but legitimately entertaining.

Details on the record can be seen here.. artwork forthcoming.
