Leeds-based five-piece Autobahn announce themselves to the world with their unapologetically sinister and aggressive self-titled debut EP. Set for release on Tough Love on 4th November, it’s a record for, and of, the night. Autobahn conjure the dystopian nightmare world of 80s post-punk across three unrelenting tracks. Consider them Leeds’ very own Lost Boys, cloaked in feedback, showing their teeth. Despite forming in February 2013, and playing their first gig just months ago, they appear eerily fully formed.
The group have notched up word-of-mouth acclaim for their handful of visceral live shows, appearing on stages with the likes of Merchandise and Eagulls. On the surface, Autobahn are a classic modern day punk band. But dig a little deeper and there’s a colourful underbelly to their sonic ambitions, vivid like a new bruise.
They have announced a UK tour with dates supporting Girls Names and the aforementioned Eagulls, as well as a special EP launch show at Brudenell Social Club, Leeds. Dates are as follows:
Autobahn Live
2nd Nov – Brighton, Green Door Store w/Girls Names
4th Nov – Leeds, Brudenell Social Club
5th Dec – London, Sebright Arms w/Eagulls
6th Dec – Cardiff, Moon Club w/Eagulls
