Stateside industrial metal band Derision Cult has released their new EP, Flyover Noise, and shared a lyric video for "Better Than Me (Sister Machine Gun cover)".
While looking forward to the new templates for the next Derision Cult phase, the band thought to reflect and pay tribute to two Illinois-based acts and two songs that have meant to the band: "Better Than Me" by Sister Machine Gun and "Rocket Science" by The Goodyear Pimps.
Says Derision Cult founder, Dave McAnally, "Sister Machine Gun's cold wave late Wax Trax sound looms large over our overall approach to songwriting, and the punk/metal sounds from bands like The Goodyear Pimps loomed large for us in high school, playing local shows that permeated our ears. On this EP, we pay homage to both". Link
