Jim Davies has a new myspace !! Go and check it out now ! Loads of news, photos, videos, tunes and infos !!
The new Hyper album is now finished and due out this summer, it features lots of axe work from my good-self and ive done vocals for one track as well. Should be gigging loads this summer with Hyper.
The tune that's up on the Jim Davies myspace page is an unmixed version of one track from the instrumental guitar album ive just finished, ALL the sounds are guitar generated, (except the drums and bass obviously!) V.P man Pete Crossman has produced and mixed it and co-written a few tracks. I plan to release a single from this album in the next few months, more on that later but what i will say is its...much faster than 'Rubicon' and you'll be able to dance to it while nutted!
The second Victory pill album is coming on a treat too, we are over half way through, the new stuff is sounding amazing, a slight direction change but not an entirely unexpected one im sure, far more electronic.
Im also working on an album with Breakbeat artist 'Odissi'- its called 'Sex and circuitry' the myspace is HERE.

What better way to end 2007 than with a stonking album review from the state side based website melodic.net : Victory Pill will please your thirst for industrial rock if you want a metal version of Prodigy, VP is the new band of Prodigy/PitchShifter guitarist Jim Davies and Prodigy drummer Kieron Pepper. Jim also handles the vocal duties in a cool 70's punk style and Kieron plays the bass on this record, this is a 100% electronic record where only a few moments remind of PitchShifter. The instrumental "Scaremonger" sounds like a cousin to Prodigy's "Firestarter" and the industrial punk of "King and country" really gets my heart pumping. "Another clone" sounds like it could've be written for PitchShifter but the highlight is "Worst case scenario" with a chorus that will stick to your head for weeks. We also get a taste of the orient in "Red pill", lots of cool harmonies in that song for sure. I do hope this won't be a one album band.
Thanks to everyone who came to the gigs and brought the album this year, lots of exciting stuff coming up early nexy year, we've had some amazing remixes done by some top dance D.J's that have taken our heads off!! We plan to release a 12" through a well known dance label early next year, watch this space. Happy new year and Xmas Victory pill (Jim,K.P,Pistol,Al)

5 questions with Jim Davies of Victory Pill > Read the interview on Rock Is Life.com >> CLICK HERE
"my favorite 3 songs are 'King and country' 'Worst case scenario' and 'Another clone' they sum up the album and band well as each is quite different musically and represents the albums depth musically"

Fantastic stuff! Went in last Monday and HMV didn't have out on the shelf so made them go and get it from their stockroom. Great from start to finish. Good metally-dancy stuff with a good mix of slightly slower, more laid back stuff. More please!
