Warmduscher is a British post-punk band formed in 2014 in London.[1] The group is currently affiliated with the independent record label Bella Union.[2]

Members of the band include Craig Higgins (Clams Baker Jr.), Benjamin Romans-Hopcraft (Mr. Salt Fingers Lovecraft), Adam J. Harmer (Quicksand), Quinn Whalley (The Witherer), Marley Mackey (Three Piece aka the Worm), and Bleu Ottis (Bleucifer).[1]

Background[edit]

The band was formed on New Year's Eve in 2014 to play an impromptu show at a house party. The initial lineup featured Higgins as vocalist and Harmer on drums, alongside Saul Adamczewski and Lias Kaci Saoudi of Fat White Family on bass and guitar, respectively.[1] The group then continued as a quintet, with Everett (drums), Romans-Hopcraft (bass), and Whalley (noise/electronics) replacing Adamczewski and Saoudi.

Career[edit]

Khaki Tears, the band's debut album, was released by Trashmouth Records on May 11, 2015.[3] Described as "the finest of filth" and "fractured rock and roll at its best" by Louder Than War, the band explains the album's title as "the time it takes for you to pluck up the courage for something" and "the ability to cry while eating your cake no matter what it's made of".[4][5]

The album was followed by the single Big Wilma/Neon Tongues, produced by Dan Carey and released with The Leaf Label on 12 January 2018. Described as a "mix of in-your-face punk and sinister electronica", the single was made available on a limited edition run of 300 7" singles.[6][7][8] Clash called the group "the sleaziest, most debauched, and downright addictive experiences in London's guitar underground right now".[9]

Warmduscher's second album, Whale City, was released with The Leaf Label on 1 June 2018 and has been described by the band as "a playground for the people that have stepped above and beyond their comfort zone".[10] Too Many Blogs called the album "dangerously debauched, infested with twisted riffs and cleverly assembled by Dan Carey’s production".[11] "Standing On The Corner", the second single from Whale City, was released on 6 April 2018 and called a "knock out blow" by Clash Magazine.[12] "1000 Whispers", the third single, followed on 16 May 2018.[13] Saul Adamczewski left the band shortly after the recording of Whale City. Fellow Fat White Family bandmate Adam J Harmer took over on guitar for Warmduscher.

On 11 November 2019, the band released their third album Tainted Lunch, which featured guest appearances by Iggy Pop and Kool Keith.[14][15] The album was recorded in just four days, with producer Dan Carey, and garnered widespread acclaim.[16] BBC Radio 6 Music placed the album at #6 in their Albums of the Year 2019 and The Line Of Best Fit awarded it a 9/10, calling the album "gritty, poppy, tasty, and utter, utter filth".[17][18]

Warmduscher released European Cowboy in 2020 for Record Store Day. The EP features three remixes by Soulwax, Savage Gary, and Decius and was limited to 1000 vinyl copies.

Warmduschers latest album, At The Hotspot, was released by Bella Union in July 2022 and was produced by Al Doyle and Joe Goddard.

Band name[edit]

The name "Warmduscher" is German which literally translates to "warm showerer", colloquially a derogatory term referring to somebody who is perceived as a wimp, or as not hard enough for life.[19]
