"Sex Drugs Anarchy" features 11 songs, including the title track, "Scream 4 Me", "Blood On The Bricks", "I Am Hollow", "All Pistols" and "Lay Your Money Down".
Commented bassist/vocalist Hot Rod, "This is a huge step to finally have it your And our way. No compromises whatsoever! Street-gutter-metal-sleaze. Our strength has always been our explosive live performances! By this album there is no gap between of how we deliver either way. The energy on this album is something you can touch and a sensation you can't deny. We're the defenders of the raw and sleazy hard rock, which has always been cool!!!"
Gemini Five recently announced the addition of guitarist Dany "Dee Dee" Douglas to the group's ranks. According to the band, "Young-blooded Dee Dee will certainly bring some lixx, shredding, mind-blowing moves. All this with the looks that kill! He's all fresh with an open mind to the whole scene which we think will suit the band more that perfect at this point. Native of the Swedish small town Karlstad. And good friends with our pal and stand-in Cat (Deathstars). Actually, it was Cat that first brought Dee Dee to our attention."
Gemini Five will celebrate the release of "Sex Drugs Anarchy" with a hometown performance on March 28 at Crazy Nights.
The band previously released two full-length albums: "Babylon Rockets" (2003) and "Black:Anthem" (2005).
