The track is\u00a0a taste of what to expect from the band\u2019s forthcoming debut album, \u2018The Barbie Syndrome\u2019\u00a0which is set for release on March 3.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;The Barbie Syndrome&#8217; was recorded last year at the Motor Museum studio with producer\u00a0Carlo Variola\u00a0and engineer\u00a0James Mellor\u00a0and features eleven new\u00a0high energy indie punk tracks with an infusion of\u00a0early 90s Britpop and Americana.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Formed nearly two years ago, The Sneaky Nixons\u2019 comprise\u00a0Charlie Manning (on vox and guitar), Lisa Fawcett (drums), Jamie Gosling (bass)\u00a0and\u00a0David Lloyd (guitar). They set about crafting their very own angry, yet melodic steam train guitar music\u00a0and have gained\u00a0a reputation locally for their volatile, arrogant behaviour and riotous live performances.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Sneaky Nixons played\u00a0a special hometown show at Liverpool&#8217;s District to launch the single on\u00a0February 3. This will be followed by a performance at Dublin&#8217;s Workman&#8217;s Club on 9 February, then in London at The Islington on the 12<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0of February. More shows will be announced to coincide with the album release in March.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheSneakyNixons\/\"
