Kiss. Cuddle & Torture: Volume 1

*'Kiss, Cuddle & Torture Volume 1'* is the debut album from London outfit **The Hempolics**. If variety is the spice of life then this album embodies it, taking a heavy Reggae roots influence and mashing it with Hip Hop, Electro, Soul, Rock and Pop to provide an antidote to the attention-deficit generation. Some bands talk an 'all killer no filler' album, **The Hempolics** walk it. With a unique modern yet vintage sound and a serious punk DIY ethic this working class band are destined to have the rich kids and performance school drones dominating the industry quaking in their wake.
