Christian punk band, Lust Control recently dropped a lyric video for ‘Finger’, the track is taken of their “Tiny Little Dots” album, which has been released on Nov. 19th. 2013 through Rottweiler Records. The video can be watched below.
With the tongue-in-cheek cynicism of The Ramones and the vibrant, colorful energy of Rage Against the Machine, Lust Control are back with a “decidedly more metallic” album. In addition to their maturation as a unit, The bands new approach promises to be just as intense and lacerating as the rollicking riots of tracks the act released in the eighties. To put it simply, while the band might be taking a newer approach, they still hold true to their commitment to bring the most energetic and intense music possible to the listener
Rip-roaring riffs, pummeling, punishing percussion, abrasive intense vocals and—you guessed it—sex, sex, sex, Lust Control are back, and busting heads at the top of their game. Ready to usher in their reunion with an album that provides a revolutionary, rambunctious listening experience sure to bring back headbangs reminiscent of the listener’s youth with a new, well-aged edge.
Lust Control originally formed in 1988. They are known for their explicit lyrical content, which is devoted to matters of sexual purity and sin, including abstinence, masturbation, pornography, sex ed, and related topics. For their unwavering views on sexual purity, CCM magazine has called Lust Control as “the Josh McDowell of the Christian rock world.” Musically they have been likened to The Ramones or The Dead Milkmen. The band formed as a joke and was not meant for long term exposure, which has led some to refer to it as a Christian version of Spinal Tap. Lust Control received the title of “The Worst Christian Band of the Decade” for the 1990s from HM.
The band’s creators see themselves as performing a legitimate ministry with a message which is often marginalized or poorly approached in churches and completely taboo in contemporary Christian music. For its creators, the goal was to emphasize grace and forgiveness rather than sin; to that end the band offers devotional studies of the topics presented. The band has come under attack from groups on the Christian right, who take issue with their explicit lyrics and musical style. Lust Control has released three albums of original material and an equal number of compilation albums.
