“Lust of the Night” is a haunting ode to the opportunity of night, with strange surrealistic lyrics and vocals, wicked guitar riffs, and intricate rhythm to complete the foundation of a mystifying song.

The song was written by vocalist Gia Rose, drummer Eric Brody, guitarist Ashton Millman and bassist Robbie Coss and follows two previous singles: the road trippin’  “Come on Down” and The Doors-like “Whiskey Sour.”

Fans of Jefferson Airplane to Ruby the Hatchet will dig The Azures like a bee digs nectar ‘n’ pollen.

By the way, longtime fans and friends of Mike Brody and his late, great band Nobody’s Business will be psyched to know that Eric is his spawn.

Can’t wait for the fall-bound debut LP of this fantastic Jersey Shore band!
