Benzos Release Coup d'état
Three Free Digital Downloads!
Benzos must have been in the holiday spirit when they decided to
release three free exclusive downloadable tracks.
By simply going to www.benzosmusic.com/exclusivedownload.html, the
entire release of Coup d'état is available.
Coup d'état Tracklisting:
1. Coup d'état
2. We Have Names (branches b-side)
3. Blue & White (branches b-side)
The title track officially marks the first independent release for
Benzos. The band had composed it during a practice a few months ago
and decided to slip it into a set in August at the Knitting Factory.
Based on the crowd reaction, as well as the enjoyment of the band
playing it, Benzos decided to made it a staple in all of their live
performances. Even though they had just released their CD Branches,
the band discussed recording this new track for future possibilities
and this free digital download idea seemed to be the right fit.
The Band recently had the idea to "clean out the vault", so-to-speak,
and make these 2 b-sides that were cut from Branches available to fans
for free. Putting out this new track, "Coup d'état", was the perfect
time to couple these all together. And with the holidays coming up it
seemed appropriate to do it this way, giving the fans a little gift.
Both of these songs are very different tracks. "We Have Names" is more
rock oriented, while "Blue & White" plays with trip hop beats,
stripped down instrumentation and soulful vocals.
