In 2015 The Cavemen (NZ) swapped the sheep and paddocks of their native New Zealand for the grimy streets of London. 2016 sees them rising from the gutter with a brand new LP, Born To Hate out on Dirty Water Records and a new single, Too High To Die on Goodbye Boozy records. These four miscreants have belted out 13 syphilitic tracks of rock’n’roll apathy. In this latest waxen slab of hate, The Cavemen touch on everything from lost love, murderous desires and their burning disdain for sophisticated artistic expression. Put simply: it’s gonna make you wanna kill.

That’s essentially The Cavemen. It’s sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll conveyed via lo-fi, psychotic ’77 era punk rock” and, according to the Irish News, “turbocharged with the attack of early ’80s US hardcore and laced with the fuzz pedal-enhanced ‘whoop-it-up’ wildness of your favourite garage rockers from The Sonics to Mudhoney. The trio’s first record is a funny, tuneful rampage of hedonistic juvenile delinquency, grave robbing fantasies and substance/self abuse-themed anarchy.” Classic Rock magazine recently stated, "The guitarist sounds likes he's throwing his instrument down a flight of stairs. Record of the year so far, easy."

Ever since they escaped their landlocked native habitat of New Zealand to London, the group have been clubbing people over the head with their brutal, unforgiving, and savage brand of rock’n’roll. One reviewer put it mildly: "I'm typing this review with one hand because I'm holding the nearest makeshift weapon in case the Cavemen decide to break down my door and punk in my face."
