Bangkok Five release new CD, plan tour!

They've been compared to both Zodiac Mindwarp & the Love Reaction and The Cult, so we have big hopes for We Love What Kills Us, the second album from The Bangkok Five. The band will be hitting the road in May with Bobaflex in support of the new disc, which will be released by Long Live Crime Records on June 10, 2008.

We Love What Kills Us is the follow-up to the band's 2006 album, Who's Gonna Take Us Alive?, which won The Bangkok Five no little praise and high-profile tourdates with bands like Buckcherry, Hot Hot Heat, the Stooges, The Bronx and Papa Roach. Advance praise for the new album has been equally positive, with one scribe stating that the album has a "touch of sleaze, a touch of glam and a whole bunch of attitude." Another critic says "…their music and lyrics on their new album have established them as one of the premier hard rock bands of the year." The Bangkok Five tour dates are listed below:
