SHITDISCO: "Kingdom of Fear" on Fierce Panda. There's loads of different coloured flourescent strip lights strewn across the artwork, some manic beats and countless references to that fashionable punk-funk sound with horrible shouting vocals. Some say they're a poor man's LCD Soundsystem. I'd say they're the soundtrack to countless very bad haircuts from a particular postcode area of London I'd advise you all to avoid. Call me a snob or elitist but fashionista music like this just grates. It's alright if you wanna dance around (badly) alone in your bedroom before your Friday night out, just don't play this in my presence please. No I'm not in denial, I remember disco the first time around and it sounded ten times better than this. Does exactly what it says on the cover. If they were called Gooddisco i'd be raging.

What the label says:

Kingdom Of Fear is the debut album from Glasgow’s disco kings Shitdisco. Produced by ex-Clor man Luke Smith and building on a solid reputation as the ultimate dance-punk party band, Kingdom Of Fear is a breakneck, BPM-busting monster of an album. It’s pop music you can dance to and disco music you can shout along to. Referencing punk funk, old school disco and classic house motifs, the album is a party on plastic. I Know Kung Fu is stupidly addictive, Disco Blood is a homage to the past heroes of disco, even incorporating the band’s own take on the laser sounds from Kelly Marie’s Feels Like I’m In Love. Elsewhere, Fear Of The Future tackles Big Brother syndrome, complete with suitably panic-stricken vocals, while Another nods to the band’s addictive personalities. (“another, and another, and another”).‘Another’ was the band’s buzzword during their early days, when the four art school students Joel (vocals/bass/guitar), Joe (vocals/bass/guitar), Jan (bass/keyboards/vocals) and Darren (drums) transformed a Glasgow tenement flat into a notorious late-night party venue.
