Johnny Foreigner / Sunset Cinema Club - Yes You Talk Too Fast Down On The Farm

Yes You Talk Too Fast Down On The Farm by Johnny Foreigner / Sunset Cinema Club

4...according to our on Thu 24 May, 2007.

Now split single from Johnny Foreigner with Yes you talk too fast and the Sunset Cinema Club with Down on the Farm. First up Johnny Foreigner with their punky fast riffed guitars chugging bass and that expressive vocals that drive the single like a breathy express train. The structures are always jumping around with gusto and explosive excitement. A chuffing great song. The Sunset Cinema Club (named after a closed down Porno Cinema in Birmingham). Another punk inspired jolt of distorted shouted angst. Angry and anarchic but not without an ear for the melody and structure of pop. Each band plays 2 songs and their 2nd is a cover of the other bands making it a big love in.. arrrrhhhhh!! It all comes with 3D specs and postcards and some rocking tunes.

    
Johnny Foreigner/Sunset Cinema Club split single with 3D artwork

Description:
The Laundrette Recording Company continues it love affair with Birmingham with their 3rd release.
Yes you talk to fast/Down on the farm is a split single from long time friends Johnny Foreigner and Sunset Cinema club.
The single contains an original track from each band as well as their unique take of their favourite track by each other bands and also comes with 3D artwork and postcard!

Johnny Foreigner:
Following their sold out debut single ‘sometimes in the bullring’ and gigs with the likes of los campineos, blood red shoes and Action plan, Johnny Foreigner return with their second single with the Laundrette Recording Company. Johnny foreigner is Alexei and junior and Kelly from Birmingham, they listen to a lot of music. They have been together for just over a year. Indie spazz pop is the pigeon hole they dislike the least. They probably have too many songs with local references in and seek to eulogise their city the way lifter puller burned Minneapolis. They don’t sound like editors or the twang instead they make noisy pop songs about girls and gin and sound like a bolt of anarchy! Their Pixie-esque Black/Deal shouty vocals and guitar fuelled frenzy has the obvious potential to drive you wild when performed live! A perfect mix of frantic scratchy guitars, relentless drums and shouty overlapping boy/girl vocals. Lo-fi pop genius.
Sunset Cinema Club:
Taking their name from a closed down porn cinema in Birmingham, Sunset Cinema Club have been making a racket in the second city for well over two years, earning themselves a Maida Vale Session on Huw Stephen’s ‘Underground/Unsigned’ show and a spot in NME’s ‘Best Midlands’ band expose in November last year. But with the said article being led by bands like The Twang and The Enemy, SCC were keen to separate themselves from the ‘Scene’ by wearing homemade Johnny Foreigner T-shirts and pointing out at every given opportunity that they are, in fact, from Redditch.
Bringing elements of punk, funk, metal and jazz into their leftfield guitar pop, their triple-vocal assaults bring to mind 80’s hardcore oddballs Minutemen or perhaps Fugazi tackling Funkadelic songs. As unlikely a combination this may sound, the end result is always ultimately a punchy, catchy pop song. Combine this with their charmingly self-deprecating stage personas, ironically misplaced pop clichés and lyrical penchants for awkward sexual encounters and it’s no wonder why they are winning friends across the length and breadth of the country
