Popular Workshop Single and Tour

 

Following a nationwide tour with Art Brut in February of this year, We Are The Physics and Duels label mates Popular Workshop skived off to Chicago to record their debut album We're Alive, And We're Not Alone with the mighty Steve Albini. You'll have to wait until September to hear it, but the first single from it, Popsong, is out a little sooner on July 7th on This Is Fake DIY Records and supported by a short UK tour.

Apparently the band came together through "a love of abrasive guitars and collapsing drums" when "pseudo-brothers" (whatever that means) Jake and Luke hooked up with Gypsy and told him to "sing whilst playing the guitar". No small feat and he was understandably reluctant. "Sing or die" they told him and eventually Gypsy, being compliant by nature, obliged. We jammed Popsong into the MuHead Comparometer and it said "like the guy from Camper Van Beethoven singing with Placebo"... and it's never wrong.

Full tour dates are;

July 

• 05: Wakefield, Escobar
• 06: Brighton, Freebutt
• 08: Cambridge, Barfly
• 11: Southampton, The Joiners
• 12: Manchester, Joshua Brookes
• 15: London, Artrocker @ The Buffalo Bar

Popsong is out on 7th July on This Is Fake DIY
