The Submissionaries
 
The Submissionaries   [back]        
Royal Jelly EP

Infamous multi-national mess-rockers The Submissionaries stopped drinking long enough to stumble into Han Tang Studios in Beijing to record what would become the Royal Jelly EP (ok, they drank there as well), a four song opus written primarily by Canadian Kelso Sorensen and American Gregg Vossler and mixed by the venerable Andy Brown and Lonely China Day mastermind Deng Pei. Intentionally lo-fi, The Royal Jelly EP rediscovers territory once inhabited by such luminaries as Blonde Redhead, Val Kilmer, Pavement and Spotswood of Team America fame. Turn these influences on their heads, add Ingela Pelomaki screaming in Swedish and you're left with none other than The Submissionaries. Known around Beijing for their shambolic live shows, which generally contain profane nudity, unintentionally broken instruments, blown PA's and absurdly foul language, these guys ain't foolin' around (with anything but your girlfriend)...seriously!
