The Physics House Band – ‘Calypso‘ The press release for The Physics House Band contained a biography (and ringing endorsement!) from none other than Stewart Lee and this three minutes of proggy goodness shows just how they’ve managed to impress even this harshest of critics. With twists and turns, alien time signatures and insane drums,…
itoldyouiwouldeatyou have expanded from Joey Ashworth’s solo project to a full band over the past 18 months and this progression has served the London/Guildford(ish) five-piece so well. Having honed their skills in various live shows alongside the likes of the Xcerts, Jamie Lenman and Theo, they’re now set to release their first EP proper with…
Masters of friendship and sadness itoldyouiwouldeatyou have unveiled the first song from their next EP, due to be released by our friends over at Rose Coloured Records in the near future. Twinklier than previous releases, ‘All Unwritten Classics’ retains the melodic emo stylings of Moose Blood but with the sense of humour and pop-punk ethics…
While it’s always good to see bands go out with friendships and their reputation intact, final farewell shows can be a bit of a poisoned chalice. If you’ve changed styles and line-ups over the years together, what do you do? At their farewell show at the Westy in Aldershot (where else?), Our Lost Infantry tackled…
The second part of our look back over Our Lost Infantry’s career. To read about the band between 2008 and 2010, head here. 2011 Our Lost Infantry had followed up the release of ‘The Arsonist’ with ‘Parkin’ – a song named after the drummer – and 2011 saw them continue to self-release a succession of…
Earlier this week, Our Lost Infantry announced that they would be calling it a day following the release of one final record – ‘Interregnum’ – and a final farewell show at the band’s home from home, the West End Centre in Aldershot on 24 July. 2008 Formed from the ashes of a twelve-legged indie-folk band…
We asked Joey Ashworth from itoldyouiwouldeatyou, Our Lost Infantry and Death of the Blogger to review the new album from Connecticut punks Sorority Noise. The album is released in the UK via Topshelf Records on 29 June. Here are Joey’s thoughts: When Forgettable came out, what I loved was the slapdash production, the sloppy playing…
With their back catalogue now available for ‘pay what you want’ on Bandcamp, we thought it was a good time to pay respect to the soon-to-be-departed Spring Offensive. One of our favourite bands of the past five years, every single release has something to recommend it – from one of the finest mini albums you’ll…
After forming in 2007, releasing their first album in 2011 and playing extensively throughout the United States and in Europe (including a London show with our very own Our Lost Infantry) over the past seven years, Prawn have returned with their follow-up to 2012’s ‘Ships’ – the ornithologically titled ‘Kingfisher’. Complete with artwork of the…
Deep Elm Records is held in high regard by many music fans around the world and with their recent decision to offer up their entire back catalogue on a ‘pay-what-you-want’ basis, the American label is set to grow. As a thank you to their loyal fans – and to encourage those new to the label…
