The band was founded by Leighton Koizumi, singer for San Diego’s most outrageous garage rock revival band, Gravedigger V. Through break-ups, break downs, personnel changes, changing cities and shifts in popular culture, The Morlocks have continually grown stronger.
Surprising, then, that in 1999, Spin Magazine printed an inaccurate story declaring the death of their energetic, charismatic lead singer Leighton Koizumi. Needless to say, Leighton (far from being dead) continues to lead the charge, a duty he has held since the band’s debut LP Emerge. The Morlocks have continued to perform and make records, a number of which have been featured prominently in movies, television shows and video games.
Now, the re-vamped & resurrected Morlocks are ready to spread their wings like a Phoenix rising from the ashes… Currently based out of Düsseldorf, Germany Leighton has inlisted a who's who European fuzz masters… Starting with Rob Louwers - drums (Fuzztones, Q-65, Link Wray), Oliver Pilsner - bass (Fuzztones, Cheeks, Montesas, Magnificent Brotherhood) Bernadette - Guitar (Sonny Vincent, Humpers) and Marcello Salis (Gravedigger V, Hangee V).
Recorded By Alaska Winter at various secret locations in Germany, including stops in "The Black Forests" of Freiburg, the seedy underbelly of the Rhine (Düsseldorf/Köln) and East meets West (Berlin). Mixed and mastered by the notorious "Jim Diamond" of Dirtbombs fame, to give it that special "Motor City" grit and grease that is required on a Morlocks record!
