You're so criminally young! Non credevo, ma il disco dei Socialist Leisure Party mi è piaciuto meno di quanto mi aspettassi, nonostante le premesse ci fossero tutte (incluso un passato nella Sarah Records). Però, subito prima della fine, ecco che mi arriva questa vampata di incoscienza punk, irruente e leggerissima, irrimediabile e fatale come i kids che insegue, e che mi fa proprio innamorare: Socialist Leisure Party - Down With the Kids [...]

I continue from where I left you yesterday , with more of my recommendations to recent singles and EPs that I've enjoyed from indie labels. S K R I E T – Fåglarna (3 track single from Novoton ) This is a new Swedish project from the people behind Pascal, but it sounds nothing like their noisy guitar driven mother-project (at least doesn't this first single sound like Pascal). Skriet (which means "The Scream") play more dreamy,floating, long stretched music, but with a [...]
In an attempt to do some additional catching up, we've returned to our email inbox and found another recent collection of songs from a label of which we are quite fond. The kind folks at Portland, Oregon label Shelflife Records (Shelflife MySpace) have released a brand new EP, titled Tactical Pop! For Coffee Cadets, from the mostly UK-based outfit Socialist Leisure Party. Musicians Andy

If you are a regular reader of this dusty corner of the internet then you probably get excited by the likes of Orange Juice , the Monochrome Set , Vic Godard , the Bluebells and the Close Lobsters . The promo sheet for Socialist Leisure Party lists off a few of those bands, and listening to it, made me think of the others. So Socialist Leisure party have some choice influences going for them, but they also have pedigree. Half the band (Andy Hitchcock and Kevin [...]

The Socialist Leisure Party have a new EP called Tactical POP! for Coffee Cadets that'll remind you of Orange Juice, The Monochrome Set, early Wedding Present and those classic Sarah Records sides. Jangly, nice & concise. Head In The Hay - Socialist Leisure Party
