Shred Yr Face! (in the Uk)


Super limited edition 7″ featuring exclusive tracks from all 3 bands.


What 3 bands You ask?
Why none other than No age Times New Viking and Los Campesinos. Exclusive tracks!
You're ready right?
This is what 7"'s are all about!
Of course it is...this will be gone by the end of the week for sure, I suggest ordering it directly from overseas like Norman...I found something about some kind of record store coalition carrying them in store in the US? But I found nothing....This seems to be kicking off some kind of super promotional tour of shit-gaze...with Los Camp thrown in for good weird measure. I wonder what the UK is going to think about this under-wave coming their way today. I just can't figure out a reasonable way to get one of these.
I missed the Times New Viking single from Matador a while back, I'm stupid. No way am I trying to wrangle ebay for a $20 copy...it's too late.
Don't miss this one my brain keeps saying...I can't hear these anywhere else!
I can't type fast enough! Especially after I read this commentary from the bands...
I am just a wealth of fucking information today.

Times New Viking says:

“we recorded this song to be put on a compilation for a great publication in the usa called ” the yeti”, quite a good read. the issue should be out soon, #6 i believe. we learned this song from our friends yo la tengo while on the road, atleast the better part of the lyrics. recorded at home on a boombox. the clean are our beatles and everyone should try to find out about them, please. tally ho.”

No Age says:

“Taken from the song “Sick People are Safe” off of our Deleted Art EP, this is an underlying track of noise that was in the background. Alone it serves as a whole different experience, and comes to life in another form. ENJOY!”

7″ ACTION : The three bands have got their collective heads together for a limited edition tour 7″ that will be available from the Coalition group of indie stores in the UK. Tracklisting : 01 Los Campesinos!: “Death to Los Campesinos! (Napoleon III Remix)” 02 No Age: “Revolving Credit for Kitty” 03 Times New Viking: “Anything Could Happen” (The Clean cover)

los Campesinos - pavement cover


I like these guys, I do, for as much as I like sincerity and seriousness, the exact opposite can do it for me too...It can be slightly annoying and out of control spazfest..., but that's good, if you're in the mood, plus are really releasing everything on seven inch, next month they have a conceptual seven inch of one minute covers. They plan on covering casiotone for the pianfully alone so I really hope that isn't going to only be available as an import like this one, but probably only will be.
Los Campesinos have that ensemble, party sound, with everyone throwing their two cents of insanity in. It's working for them, but the logistics of keeping them playing together at this age, playing shows and touring in dirty vans can be rough, but they can pull it off for a few years yet. I really want to hear this pavement cover.

los campesinos!

Side A
1. Death To Los Campesinos!

Side B
1. Frontwards

18th February sees the release of our...fourth single. Entitled 'Death To Los Campesinos!'. This is backed up by our cover of Pavement's 'Frontwards' and another song about mixx tapes 'Clunk-Rewind-Clunk-Play-Clunk'. Available on col-our-ful 7" vinyl and a REFLECTIVE CD, as well as the George Graham of musical formats: download. Beautiful artwork as ever by Sarah Lippett.


It's Friday and that means another podcast, where coincidentally Los Campesinos is played in the ol' bedroom, with the Swirlies - sarah sitting, and Red Red Meat.
We discuss kindercore and twee, tween, and how it has nothing to do with porn. (19:54)
