THE NEPTUNE POWER FEDERATION returns with their 7th album, a raucous foray into the depths of the dirtiest clubs! Wilder, weirder... Mondo Tomorrow!
"Time travels both ways." It's a powerful one-liner from The Neptune Power Federation guitarist Inverted CruciFox on the thematic elements that comprise the band's newest studio effort, Mondo Tomorrow. After multiple albums detailing the adventures of frontwoman the Imperial Priestess (a.k.a. Screaming Loz Such)--from the French Revolution, Black Plague, Judas Priest concert parking lots and the love-soaked 1970s--the band is now taking a long, hard look at the perils of technology while bringing back their punk rock roots.
Indeed, cuts such as the title track, "Mind Controller" and "Cybernetic Times" are told through a retro-futurist lens that depicts a world under the grip of those in charge with unlimited technological power. The songs are brought to life by the aforementioned Imperial Priestess's charismatic, infectious vocals--capable of delivering soaring choruses and gritty, down-in-the-dirt volleys. All the while, her bandmates bring the house down with an array of hook-filled, straightforward, true, hard rock riffs, namely on "Living in the Gutter" and "Rhapsody in Blue."
It is an album as sonically rich as anything in The Neptune Power Federation's growing discography--broad, spacious, yet still firmly rooted in the core principles of pure rock and roll.
Since their 2012 formation, The Neptune Power Federation has consistently delivered on their promise to recreate the music played from 1968 to 1978. The band hooked up with Cruz Del Sur Music for 2019's Memoirs of a Rat Queen, further bringing the stories of their time-traveling space witch, The Imperial Princess, to life, with successive albums such as 2022's Le Demon De L'Amour and 2024's Goodnight My Children leveling audiences across their Australian homeland as well as Europe with their inventive blend of AOR rock and metal.
