Electro-sludge-funk “quadruped” Mind Vice, featuring Orcas Island’s own Walter O’Toole and Ian Sides along with Seattleites Mike Knapp and Miles Hubbard, will be continuing their creative rampage through the jungles of 2014 into the New Year with the release of their new single “Consumer Nation.”

Together with its accompanying B-side “The Profit,” “Consumer Nation” is as much social commentary as it is head-banging material.

“It’s a reflection on what makes America a consumer nation, and with the mindset necessary to succeed in a consumer nation,” said O’Toole.

Riding the excitement of their performance at Nadamucho.com’s “Durge Fest 2014” for a packed house at Seattle’s Sunset Tavern, and a successful Kickstarter campaign for their first music video (March 2015), Mind Vice will be headlining a pre-release party for “Consumer Nation” at the High Dive in Seattle on Jan. 30.
