Stockholm garage punk trio Gestures return with their eagerly anticipated horror infused debut album Funny Games, the band’s most accomplished work today. After self-releasing the debut EP Shattered Mind in 2016, which later saw a vinyl release on Stockholm garage rock institution Push My Buttons (Viagra Boys, Holograms), Gestures signed with PNKSLM Recordings (ShitKid, Les Big Byrd, HOLY etc) for the release of the Bad Taste EP in November 2016. A major step forward Funny Games sees the band leaving behind the lo-fi murkiness of their earlier releases in favour of a more confident garage rock sound, moving from quick fire garage punk to heavier and more menacing moments, bringing to mind the likes of Jay Reatard, Carbonas and Bass Drum of Death.<br>
