Lack of internet has played havoc with my carefully laid plans this week, but hey first world problems and all that… Anyway the big news with Team Fringe is the addition to the Hot Pockets roster on one Danimal Kingdom.

The solo project of former Bolt Action Five frontman Daniel Murtha, Danimal Kingdom’s songs join the dots between 80’s influenced new wave pop and today’s best electronic music, and have already earned him comparisons to the likes of Squeeze and Devo.

Dan played at our NEW! night earlier this year and I was so blown away by his performance, that by the end of the night I was chasing him out of the venue demanding he give me a 7″.

Sexual harrasment lawsuit notwithstanding the happy result is that we’ll be putting out Dan’s debut single, ‘Vinyl Skipping Ever Backwards/Through The Ice’ some time in November.

To properly introduce you to him we’re making the track ‘Amputee Spirit’ available now, you can stream it here and download it from Dan’s new website, can’t say fairer than that really can we.
