"No one chooses to be exiled and no one chooses to be born in one place or another and it is in no one's interest to ban global progress, something that many people from different nationalities are contributing to daily and they are doing it all for the future of humanity. The global progress, unfortunately is being threatened by executive orders of Donald Trump in an unjust entry ban on refugees. A ban that also affects scholars, students, family members, artists and the mere tourists with no intention of settling in the USA."

The Pop Group: New Single 'War Inc.'
All proceeds of the new 'War Inc.' single will be donated to Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) to help with the incredible work they do in war zones throughout the world. In 2015 they provided over a million consultations across war torn regions of Asia and Africa, and also provide nutrition and psychological help to hundreds of thousands of vulnerable, innocent civilians.
The Pop Group set out their stall for 2017 with the release of their single 'War Inc.' from their vital new album 'Honeymoon On Mars'.
'War Inc.' sees The Pop Group formidably mobilized by the heavyweight maximalism of Public Enemy architect Hank Shocklee. Befitting the song's theme of warfare and the avarice of those who stand to profit from it, the track coalesces around a punishing crossfire of industrial brunt and volatile noise, as driven, explosive and audacious as anything The Pop Group or Shocklee have put their name to. With Mark Stewart's vociferous loudspeaker tirades and Gareth Sager's acutely distressed guitar distortions punctuated by a recurrent vocal cut-up that alludes to iconic ragga and 90s Bristolian jungle, the track maintains the band's capacity for adventurous admixtures of influence, whilst delivering a much-needed message of savage, perceptive fury.
"This is a warning..."

Young Fathers: New Single 'Only God Knows'
"Trainspotting, the original book is like a modern Ulysses. It's unsurpassed I think, and reading it is still like the 'rush of ocean to the heart'. You're always looking for the heartbeat of a film. For Trainspotting it was Underworld's 'Born Slippy'. For T2 It's Young Fathers. Their songs are my heartbeat for the film. And 'Only God Knows' is that rush again. The ocean. The heart." Danny Boyle 18th January 2017.
So.
Here's the story behind Young Fathers and their involvement in Danny Boyle's 'T2: Trainspotting'.
Young Fathers and the prolific novelist Irvine Welsh first met in 2015, when Welsh was making TV documentary about creativity in their mutual hometown, Edinburgh. Director Danny Boyle discovered Young Fathers shortly after their 2014 Mercury Prize win.'T2: Trainspotting', is Welsh and Boyle's recent feature-length film and sequel to 'Trainspotting' (1996) both adaptations of Welsh's critically acclaimed written works, 'Trainspotting' and Porno. 21 years later, their mutual appreciation for Young Fathers landed six tracks on the film's score - 'Low', 'No Way', 'Dare Me' - and soundtrack - 'Get Up', 'Rain or Shine' and 'Only God Knows'.
Young Fathers got word on 'T2' features while working in the studio with Los Angeles-based producer Dave Sitek. The guys brought one of the demos back home to Edinburgh, met up with Boyle to tour the 'T2' film set and then finished the song with the voices of the Leith Congregational Choir, because there's "nothing like singing with your aunties."
And really that's when any relation to the film goes out of the window, because 'Only God Knows' is the most beautiful, soaring, crazy piece of punk-gospel you'll hear in 2017, like being shot out of a cannon into the greatest atheist church in the universe, like dying and being reborn without even realising it's happened. Because we're all alone in the end anyway, so give yourself a chance.
The single 'Only God Knows' is out on 24th January as a download & one-sided 7".

Blaenavon: New Single, Album & Tours
Following a breakthrough 2016 which saw them sell out London's Scala, fill tents at Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds and Latitude, ink a US deal with Canvasback / Atlantic and release a run of critically acclaimed singles, Blaenavon are pleased to share news of their long awaited debut album, 'That's Your Lot' - alongside the music video for brand new single, 'Orthodox Man'.
Recorded with Grammy-winning producer Jim Abbiss (Arctic Monkeys, Adele, Bjork) the LP marks a certain milestone for the band - a sumptuous, thrilling and brave collection of songs written throughout their teenage years and now fully realised. Intensely personal, yet exploring the universal experiences of friendship, sadness, hope, love held and lost, and all the confusions of youth - a body of work to help define a generation.
'That's Your Lot' includes 'I Will Be The World', 'Let's Pray' and 'My Bark Is Your Bite' - a more than impressive run of singles championed by the likes of Annie Mac, Zane Lowe, Huw Stephens, NME and Fader, whilst collectively racking up over 1,500,000 Spotify streams.
The album will also feature explosive new single 'Orthodox Man', Blaenavon's most immediate moment to date and already a firm fan favourite following a series of incredible live performances. The song's accompanying music video was shot by director Francesca Consarino during the band's first trip to New York City for two packed out shows in the Winter of 2016.
The band is also excited to share details of a new headline tour in support of 'That's Your Lot', which includes a landmark show at London's Heaven on April 7th.
Blaenavon will also be joining Sundara Karma on their UK dates, before a lengthy run throughout Europe with Two Door Cinema Club. A fulsome Summer of festival appearances awaits thereafter, in addition to further international touring.
2017 will see Blaenavon come of age as the most exciting act in the country, and beyond.
