The Pop Group: New Video 'Little Town'
"The video attempts to capture the feel of towns beyond the big metropolises... towns that suffer most from the brutal post capital culture we live in now" - Douglas Hart
"Doug has documented Cruel Britannia, the hidden truly frightening little Britain. Perhaps the real battle for Britain has truly begun" - Mark Stewart
Post punk provocateurs The Pop Group have revealed the official video for 'Little Town', the second single to emerge from their new album 'Honeymoon On Mars'.
In the hands of Douglas Hart - former Jesus & Mary Chain bassist come revered music video auteur for the likes of My Bloody Valentine, The Horrors and Primal Scream - 'Little Town' becomes a subversive montage of oppressive urban landscapes and street level scenes, given a series of chromatic tints that visualize the track's restless progress. As a graphic patchwork of prosaic locations gradually comes offset by the itinerate urban patrols of Mark Stewart and Gareth Sager, the parades of power and the machinery of surveillance eventually present themselves, revealing the sinister system that pulls the strings and lurks beneath the surface.
"Forbidden London, Hidden Britain..."
The single is taken from the ten track album, produced by dub titan Dennis Bovell, who worked on their seminal Y album debut, and Hank Shocklee, producer of Public Enemy's iconic first three albums as a member of the Bomb Squad. 'Honeymoon On Mars' was released through Freaks R Us on Friday October 28th 2016.
With 'Honeymoon On Mars', The Pop Group open another chapter at a time when their iconoclastic contention is needed now more than ever. It's a record that finds the band unwaveringly incensed and resolute in their mutative sense of innovation, as Stewart elaborates: "it's a stand against manufactured hate, a hypersonic journey into a dystopian future full of alien encounters and sci-fi lullabies"
Recorded and mixed in various studios in early summer of 2016, working with Bovell and Shocklee the band realised a dream twofold collaboration, as Stewart concludes: "We've at last fulfilled a double fantasy to work with our two favourite sonic assassins, Dennis 'Blackbeard' Bovell and Hank Shocklee. We're in awe as Dennis, the Captain Kirk of dub is taking us on a hyper sound voyage into the future, and Hank, as always tears up the rules totally upholding our faith in the absolute value of noise. We've gone completely off the map."
Talking about working with The Pop Group, Shocklee said: "The Pop Group sound has a level of freedom, fun and creative musicianship in their recordings that is a special and rare find in today's world. Their uncompromising spirit to be themselves and not worry about fitting into a musical box, sets them apart."
Long-time collaborator Bovell added: "It's been a great pleasure to be working with the guys again. They are truly beyond good and evil."

The Mission: To Support Alice Cooper On UK Tour
Alice Cooper will return to the UK, for his first tour there in five years, in November 2017.
He is bringing two bands with him to reflect two of his best sides - outrageous theatrical controversy and the darker, gothic rock that Alice influenced - The Mission & The Tubes.The Mission were formed by two members of Sisters Of Mercy in 1986, Wayne Hussey and Craig Adams. Songs like 'Wasteland', 'Tower Of Strength' and 'Deliverance' became classics of the 1980's goth rock scene and beyond. The band were heroes of alt rock, headlining Reading Festival twice and, on one tour, selling out seven consecutive nights at London's legendary Astoria Theatre.
"I remember during the summer of 1972 being on scout camp and hearing this new song on the radio that absolutely mesmerised me. 'School's Out' by Alice Cooper. Loved it, still do," said The Mission's Wayne Hussey.
"Fast forward to 1987 and our first headline spot on the Friday night at Reading Festival. Headlining the Sunday was Alice Cooper. And now we've been invited by Alice to join him on his UK tour next November."See The Mission's artist page for full details, tickets available from the link below.

Teddy Killerz: New Single & Album On RAM Records
Teddy Killerz have dominated the underground scene for quite some time now, throwing hit after hit since their climatic signing to Ram Records.
After locking themselves in exclusively to the imprint, they've released a plethora of releases and played on some of the globe's biggest dance music stages.Whether it's debuting their music at Las Vegas' EDC, or on the European club circuit, they've showcased new music spectacularly and expanded their fan base in each of the world's corners. Transatlantic or in cross continental, the trio have delivered time and time again, both behind the decks and in the studio.
And the news is finally here, that they'll release their debut album on the Ram imprint. Never compromising quality for bite, this LP is everything you'd expect from a Teddy Killerz record. The artwork also epitomises what they're about, and the 'Nightmare Street LP' brings you into their cartoonish world.
The first single to come from this album is 'Unbelievable'. It's a no holds barred monster, one which snaps on every break. Reeling forward on creeping atmospherics, crunching snare pushes you into all out anarchy, snapping at your heels yet keeping a cool complexity. Featuring a weighty composition, Teddy Killerz are back, pulling down the throttle and engineering a sound which is inherently theirs.
This is your first glimpse into what they have in store for 2017. And if this is anything to go by, 'Nightmare Street' will ruminate across the drum & bass hemisphere for years to come.

Steve Lamacq: 'Going Deaf For A Living'
DJ and journalist Steve Lamacq celebrates 30 years in the music industry with a new, intimate one-show of anecdotes and observations, clocked up over three decades of championing new music.
Since swapping his fanzine for a job at the New Musical Express in 1987, the music obsessive has seen more than 5,000 gigs, banged on endlessly about music he's found (as his friends and colleagues will dolefully testify) and occasionally been coerced into manning a one man band's merch stand.
But 'Going Deaf For A Living' isn't just his story; it's a fond exploration of the life of all music fans from the first record you buy to the best gig you've ever seen; how bands you love will let you down; and how knowing the catalogue numbers of the Rough Trade label won't necessarily win you friends at dinner parties.
Expect frontline stories from his NME days (including the lunchtime spent interviewing Nirvana in a Shepherds Bush B&B in 1990) and about life at Radio 1 and BBC 6Music, where, over 20 years he's booked sessions for numerous Next Big Things; interviewed Noel Gallagher 17 times; and, in 2013, was awarded the prestigious radio gong, the Sony Lifetime Achievement Award.
