Gary Numan

On September 23rd Mortal Records presented "Love Hurt Bleed", the first single to be taken from Splinter (Songs From A Broken Mind), the inspired new album by pioneer, chart-topper and influential Alternative artist Gary Numan, which will be released on October 14th. Gary's knack for aggressive, electronic anthems is evident in the pounding, growling throb of this single. His trademark vocal snarl is lashed to a heavy synth beat - massive on a soundsystem and set to become one of the big tracks on his November Splinter Tour.

Although Numan released a straight-to-the-fanbase album Dead Son Rising in 2011, Splinter is his first self-penned full album since Jagged in 2006. In recent years Gary has been quoted as an influence by everyone from Lady Gaga to Kanye West, Matthew Dear to Queens Of The Stone Age, The Foo Fighters, Nine Inch Nails, Jack White, Prince and J Dilla, to Boyz Noise, Richie Hawtin and Battles. This English singer, composer and musician is most widely known for his chart-topping 1979 hits "Are 'Friends' Electric?" (as Tubeway Army) and "Cars". His signature sound consists of heavy synthesiser hooks fed through guitar effects pedals.

This month, Numan will be opening for Nine Inch Nails at a couple shows in Florida. But first up, is his performance at L.A.'s Hollywood Forever Cemetery Oct. 17th and 18th. Numan will be playing a number of tour dates this fall in addition to this cemetery stop.
