Announces Contest For Upcoming ‘Freakshow’ Official Video

Industrial Electronic Rock Artist Blue Eyed Christ have released the lyric video for their cover of the Gary Glitter, and later Joan Jett, hit “Do You Wanna Touch (Oh Yeah)”, off of their upcoming album, A Rush and a Thrill, out November 4, 2014.

Watch Blue Eyed Christ “Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah)” Lyric Video’:

“I’ve always been a big fan of Joan Jett. I love the mix of raw energy and sexual tension in her version of “Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah)”. I actually didn’t even know it was originally a Gary Glitter song until after I recorded my version. Mine is much more true to the Joan Jett version but modernized with big drums, huge guitars, heavy synths, and a dose of noise to give it the Blue Eyed Christ sound.“

– John D. Norten
