Iconic rockers Faster Pussycat have announced the upcoming release of double A-side singles "Like A Ghost" and "Pirate Love", which will be available digitally via Golden Robot Records on November 28th.
This release is the first for the band under the Golden Robot umbrella with Taime Downe saying earlier this year: "The band and I are over the moon to join the Golden Robot Records rock-n-roll family! We are super excited to release some of our badass new tunes globally – we know the label see our vision and supports the band and we feel completely at home here."
The double A-side single comes just a few months before Faster Pussycat are expected to hit Australian shores with an exclusive Australian tour edition of "Like A Ghost" and "Pirate Love" on coloured translucent blue 7" vinyl, available to purchase at these shows with only limited stock to be made available online.
"Like A Ghost" is a track about growing up to be a musician with Taime's signature vocals carrying the song through to completion. The production on this track is second to none with blistering guitars and an urge to headbang. "Pirate Love" comes in strong from the start with heavy drums and riffs before you're met with menacing vocals that discuss wanting an rough and exciting love.
Both tracks compliment each other with strong instrumentals, killer vocals and an edge to them - everything you would expect from a top-shelf Faster Pussycat release.

Faster Pussycat formed in 1985 by vocalist Taime Downe, guitarists Brent Muscat and Greg Steele and bassist Kelly Nickels. The group has since gone through numerous line-up changes leaving Downe as the only constant member.
The band broke up in 1993, but reformed in 2001. Faster Pussycat has released four studio albums to date: Faster Pussycat (1987), Wake Me When It’s Over (1989), Whipped! (1992) and The Power and the Glory Hole (2006). Faster Pussycat have grown to be one of the most influential hard rock bands, especially during the late 1980s and early 1990s, resulting in over two million records worldwide.
