For some reason this Popular Workshop red vinyl 7" has been sealed into its sleeve with blue gaffer tape. Rather than remove it and get all sticky glue marks on the sleeve with fluff and crap sticking to it I'll leave that to you good people and listen to 'Reptilians' on the band's myspace... Not a bad racket at all, prety solid use of repetition, melodic chorus and that. Brian reckons that there's bits of Cable and Ligament going on in their sound. Like the mid-90's gear.Popular Workshop have been keeping busy. They followed up a nationwide tour with Art Brut in February by flying to Chicago the next day to record their debut album with Steve Albini at Electrical Audio studios, which will be officially birthed unto the world in September, entitled 'We're Alive, And We're Not Alone'. The first fruits of this work was download only single 'PopSong', released July 7th , and the second will be ‘Reptilians’, released on 7” through This Is Fake DIY Records (home of Duels, We Are The Physics and Manda Rin) on September 1st.
The band came together through a love of abrasive guitars and collapsing drums when pseudo-brothers Jake and Luke found Gypsy and forced him to "sing whilst playing the guitar". On record they create their own world of art-disco and discordant chaos inspired by and compared to a spazzed-out danced up Sonic Youth, Bloc Party, Shellac and Elastica. Popular Workshop have played live with the likes of Los Campesinos!, Blood Red Shoes and Good Shoes to name but a few, whilst releasing 7” singles and an EP via the labels Studio Penguin, Tigertrap, Fake Product, and Tough Love.
