Midasuno’s album opener of 2007’s “Songs In The Key Of Fuck” (5/5 — BBC Online, 41(’s — KERRANG!, 4/5 — The FLY Magazine, 8/10 — Rock Sound) — Sister Temptation, comes as the band’s first release of 2008. Following previous single (Chosen by Napalm Death’s Barney Greenway as Rock Sound Magazine’s ‘Single of the Month’ “Don’t Drive (Faster Than VourAngel Can Fly), the track encapsulates the Midasuno blueprint Big riffs, bigger choruses and more ideas in 4 minutes than most bands achieve over the space of an album. ,
Fusing rock with elements of electronica (with tongue very firmly in cheek), the song has already become a firm live favourite. The last song written for ‘Songs…”, Sister Temptation’ has ‘single’ written all over it — twisting and turning from dark, groove-heavy guitar work to throbbing synths, culminating in what is simply of the biggest choruses you’ll hear this year. The songs’ lyrical content comments on the guilt of infidelities and acts of a capriciousness nature, which, coming from a seemingly red-blooded ‘rock’ band, is quite an anti-rock sentiment to contemplate. It’s this sort of juxtaposition that make Midasuno so refreshing and so vital.

‘Sister Temptation’s’ accompanying video was filmed live at The Civic in Mexborough in February 2008, during Midasuno’s stint as main support on Brigade’s ‘Shortcuts’ single tour. The band intend to undertake an extensive summer touring schedule
