Selfish Cunt. Am I allowed to type that? I wonder if Amazon will asterix it out? I reckon we did so well with Fuck Buttons cos we put it brazenly in fuck off cunting letters all over our big twatty shit of a homepage. Our stylus hates T'Cunts' wibbling sub-anarcho punk racket of a new single 'England Made Me II' but between the skipping it sounds somewhere between a Dead kennedy's out-take left in a dank Hackney gutter & that Liam Lynch tune, 'United States of Whatever'. Glad they've ditched the spartan electro dirge & become a bit of an off kilter comedy pooonk outfit. They've probably got more attitude than half the bands around and they're totally non conformist by having such an unmarketable name, I'm starting to have a wee modicum of respect for their stubbornness. And I thought that were exclusively the realm of us "Northerners". 7" only.

SELFISH CUNT are releasing the single ENGLAND MADE ME II from the hotly anticipated album, English Chamber Music, with a full UK tour beginning at the end of November. Their come back this summer was blisteringly hot as they packed venues including London’s ominous 100 Club. STOOL PIGEON 5/5 “They’ve gained a sonic ferocity that matches their singers righteous anger, English Chamber Music is the proof.” NME 7/10 "This is shock-rock for those who lap up lyrics dark as the abyss and guitars so barbed they ought to be signposted" VICE 8/10 "The tunes are taut blasts of post-punk.” CLASH “Head and shoulders above most bands"
ENGLAND MADE ME II tells of the self-destructive tendencies of those who feel politically impotent, unable to take out their aggression on the powers that be. It’s intensity batters through from the opening riff to the last breath. The album, ENGLISH CHAMBER MUSIC, is a thorn in the flesh of UK’s current music scene and reinstates the band as a force to be reckoned with. Bringing a rhythm section on board in the shape of Joao Pires (drums) and Matthew Saw (Bass), has helped refine and tighten their sound. Singer Martin Tomlinson exercises complete lyrical indulgence while Patrick Constable, freed from the drum machine, is enabled to express himself fully on guitar. The band has hit upon a new strength in song-writing and ambition. With tours scheduled for the UK, Japan and Europe in the coming months, the future is far from quiet in Cunt Camp. Frothing at the mouth, hungrier than ever, SELFISH CUNT are back. Deal with it.
