Table Scraps have announced their new album ‘Autonomy’ and released a brand new track from it, ‘Sick Of Me’.

On the song, Scott Vincent Abbott of the band has said “‘Sick of Me’ is about when friendships stagnate and minor annoyance gives way to mouldering resentment. Then juxtapose that feeling on top of a jangly sunshine pop backdrop (or as close to that as we ever get!). The echo of our breeze block 5m x 5m (and very un-soundproofed) room also perfectly suited the track’s claustrophobic feel. It’s dedicated to everyone just about keeping a lid on telling that one person how you really feel and cutting them loose.”

The info

Table Scraps hail from Birmingham, UK and create black-hearted garage punk which fully embraces the good, the bad and the ugly of rock’n’roll’s twisted lineage and various mutations. The band’s entire output is produced by themselves in-house and their no-compromise approach, having spawned a string of well-received 7” singles and an LP, extends to perfecting their chaotic and reverb-drenched live shows.

The trio have more than held their own alongside Fat White Family, IDLES and Yak, as well as being hand-picked to open for The Stranglers, Buzzcocks and The Gories. Joe Talbot, frontman of IDLES was so impressed by the band that he recently span ‘My Obsession’ whilst sitting in for Steve Lamacq’s BBC 6 Music Recommends show. Huw Stephens followed suit and also played the track a week later on Radio 1. They are now pleased to announce the new single ‘Sick Of Me’, which has already been highlighted by the likes of Tom Ravenscroft on BBC 6 Music as well as John Kennedy on Radio X.

Instantly converting anyone straying into the band’s path, Table Scraps have been featured regularly on US and UK TV (Audience Network, Channel 4, Viceland​) and their single ‘Electricity’​ has also been selected for an upcoming campaign with Adidas. Table Scraps continue to play by their own rules and will release ‘Autonomy’ on February 23rd via Zen Ten.

Table Scraps are:
Scott Vincent Abbott – Guitar & Vox
Poppy Twist – Drums & Vox
TJ – Bass & Vox

Sea Girls, a four piece from Leicestershire and Kent, give a nod to the best of British indie in their music, such as Catfish & The Bottlemen, Nothing But Thieves and The Amazons.

The band have been friends since school playing in rival bands and coming together to form Sea Girls in 2015. As a band they started out as a very different format. Oli was the singer, Rory on guitar, Henry now the singer and guitar player was the bassist and Andrew played a ‘K Oscillator’ weird synth, which he thought “sounded pretty cool”. Over time tastes change!

Henry says “Our music sounds different now and we’ve shifted around instruments, but we have stuck together and developed our Sea Girls sound. We want to make diverse interesting music by constantly improving. If we can produce songs that make you get up spin around and then cry, we’re happy. I guess the ultimate would be for people to relate an experience or part of their life to our music and for us to grow with them”

Produced by Larry Hibbett (Nothing But Thieves, Sundara Karma) lead singles `Call Me Out’, `Lost’ and imminent `What For’ are already pricking up ears with a Radio 1 playlist and supporters Annie Mac and Huw Stephens BBC Introducing as well as on-line support with the likes of:

‘What For’: https://seagirls.lnk.to/whatfor

They are looking forward to their first UK headline tour in February next year. “We’ll have our second EP out by then, so more music for people to sink their teeth into. We played a lot of gigs before we ever went into the studio, so want anyone who watches us to feel like they have been to a unique show.”

It may be early days for Sea Girls, but if these tightly honed rock songs keep packing such solid punches, they won’t be held back for long. Catch Sea Girls live on their debut tour around the UK in February 2018. Tickets available at: www.seagirls.net (all gigs are 14+ unless otherwise stated)

Atlanta flower punk pioneers Black Lips are rolling on. After their headlining appearance at Reading & Leeds this summer, the band start a number of UK dates.

Earlier this year through Vice Records, Black Lips released ‘Satan’s Graffiti or God’s Art?’. Produced by Sean Lennon at his studio compound in upstate New York throughout 2016, the album is the group’s most musically evolved to date, while still staying true to their original blistering take on fuzzy, dirty rock n’ roll.

During the recording the band isolated themselves from the outside world, infusing the album with a focused liveliness similar to the spirit that brought them together in the first place. On ‘Satan’s Graffiti or God’s Art?’ founding members Cole Alexander and Jared Swilley teamed with former guitarist Jack Hines (who played in the group from 2002-2004) and recent additions Oakley Munson on drums and Zumi Rosow on saxophone. The album also features contributions by Saul Adamczewski of Fat White Family and guest vocals by Yoko Ono.
