“’Blood Painted Dash’ is a story about 3 hellbent teens that end up dying from their own recklessness due to drugs & alcohol, causing themselves to crash a car over a cliff. The kicker here though is that they wake up dead in the morgue having to piece together in terror what they have done. The subtle story we are pushing with this song is don’t drive under the influence…because you just may wake up dead!” – Supermodel Taxidermy

For fans of Dayglo Abortions, D.R.I, Slayer, Iron Reagan, Suicidal Tendencies

“what Supermodel Taxidermy put forward is some quality crossover which sticks true to the genre’s roots. Musically, there is everything here that the listener could ever want from a crossover band, it’s so fast, it’s furious that Vin Diesel could put his name to it as the band wear their influences on their sleeve. There are lots of sounds of D.R.I. and Cro-Mags, but also Iron Reagan and BillyBio, but instead of songs about disturbing the neighbours/parents and drinking beer, there is something a little more high-brow with tracks such as ‘Deism’ and ‘Chrysalis’ showing what this band is capable of lyrically” – Metal Digest

BAND STORY ANGLES / FUN FACTS:

1. Supermodel Taxidermy’s first show was at a festival in Alberta (rock the rails) It was my first time on a stage, and we played in front of over 200 people. It slayed! -Shawn

2. When we recorded our latest single “Blood Painted Dash” in the studio, our drummer Reilly Williams hammered out his parts and then pounded back 15 beers before passing out on the couch for the rest of the session. As we were listening to the final product after the vocals and guitars were finished, he woke up mid-song to say, “Holy fuck boys, she sounds right on!”

3. This band started out as an idea stuck inside my head, something I had been contemplating for a while. I decided to record a few songs and pass them around the local scene, but it didn’t quite fit with anyone at the time, so I finished the album and released it which eventually caught the attention of Mike and Reilly who are now part of the line up -Shawn

4. The album “A Whorer Story” was written about a personal life struggle based on a two-year period of time. The songs were designed to be heard in the order which is on the record. The lyrics clearly depict what someone would battle with internally on having to give up on a loved one because of addiction and the mental anguish to follow in discovering the prostitution involved with it. This album is a climb out of a whorer story. As the last few songs on the record approach, you’ll hear the subjects outlook start change. “This music saved my life; it was a doc in the chair” -Chrysalis

Heavy hitting, aggressive and fun, Canada’s Supermodel Taxidermy takes skate punk, hardcore, and thrash to the next level with loud riffs, catchy lyrics, and infectious energy. They released an EP “A Whorer Story” this past January and maintaining that momentum have a new standalone single “Blood Painted Dash” ready for ears and eyes.

The band expects a solid reception from their fans as it’s a continuation of what “A Whorer Story” was built on – every song has a new feeling and represents different aspects of us all. They are dedicated to building entertaining stories as well as writing hard-hitting riffs and beats. For new listeners, there is a shock factor with the topics they’ve chosen to write about. They detail the track:

“’Blood Painted Dash’ is a story about 3 hellbent teens that end up dying from their own recklessness due to drugs & alcohol, causing themselves to crash a car over a cliff. The kicker here though is that they wake up dead in the morgue having to piece together in terror what they have done. The subtle story we are pushing with this song is don’t drive under the influence…because you just may wake up dead!”

This single is a gory taste of what is to come in the new music that Supermodel Taxidermy is working on right now. They anticipate having an album ready for next year which spans topics of current societal issues and fun pop culture stuff such as horror movies. That record is a collaboration of 3 like minds and passionate musicians.

Supermodel Taxidermy started during the pandemic, it was a way for Maynard to keep sane and get ideas out of his head that had been in contemplation for a while. He wrote the songs and recorded the demos before reaching out to the studio and musicians he used to record the EP. After the restrictions were lifted, he started jamming these songs with various artists until he came across the guys that are now in the band.

Best described as thrashy skate punk meets Slayer, Supermodel Taxidermy is recommended for fans of Iron Reagan, D.R.I., and Suicidal Tendencies.
