Smokers Die Younger 'Kermit Song' 7" single - Out 18th July

Smokers Die Younger are five oddballs from Sheffield who make a fantastic blend of post rock and indiepop. They are a bit like early Pavement, a bit like The Fall, even a little bit like The Velvet Underground and The Pogues. To quote Sandman Magazine "This is startlingly good stuff. Hard to categorise, incredibly individual, yet very easy to like." Marc Riley (aka Lard) on 6Music is a fan and Tasty Zine said "'Kermit Song builds up a strange kind of bastard grandeur which makes it rather glorious." Too right.

Smokers Die Younger's single is released on Monday July 18th. It is a limited edition on Frog Green vinyl. You can buy it on pre-order from our website now. It will be available from the following shops from July 18th:

Forever Changes, Sheffield
Jacks Records, Sheffield
Record Collector, Sheffield
Rough Trade, London
Pure Groove, London
Piccadilly Records, Manchester
Jumbo Records, Leeds
Norman Records, Online at www.normanrecords.com
The Laundrette, Online at www.thelaundrette.co.uk
Have a listen to snips of the single on the releases page of our website. Smokers Die Younger play Electric Blanket @ The Blind Institute, Mappin St. Sheffield on Saturday 30th July.

Box Of Odd - surf garage compilation

See a lovely (& strangely accurate) new review of this CD on Drowned in sound at You can download some tracks for free from our website.

Scaramanga 6

Wrath Record stalwarts Scaramanga 6 have a new single out and we have a few of them to sell! Those Scaramanga chaps give it to you straight on this brilliant 7". Initially it is a gentler affair of strings & cooing vocal with the immortal line "Where did you get that horrible face?" which then builds into the kinda james-bond-theme-in-an-industrial-grinder noise Scaramanga 6 are reknowned for with the rejoinder "You ugly, ugly COW!!" Fantastic.

Milburn

Milburn got in the NME recently simply for being best mates with Sheffield's newest trendies Arctic Monkeys. But forget such sillyness for we've got hold of their great debut 7". "Lipstick Licking" is a cracking punky indiepop tunes which manage to sound like a cross between The Only Ones and Elvis Costello & The Attractions. But still they get compared to the bloody Libertines. Pah to lazy journalistic nonsense! Stick this on your turntable for guaranteed summer fun.

Harrisons
Following their appearance on Thee Humbug #2 CD, quite a few people have been asking us about Harrisons releases. They have a single out in August on Melodic Records & we will be selling it on ww.theespc.com. More on that in our next newsletter.

Website updates
We are currently re-writing our website, so if bits aren't working apologies in advance! However, the ordering system is unchanged and should be fine. Any problems, please contact us via the website.

Felicitations!
Tiffin The Tea Boy xxxx

Hah, the cheek! Linking to DiS when we have our own perfectly servicable review of A Box of Odd on this very site (not to mention one of their Charles Cullen release). I'm off to sulk.

Seriously - hooray for the SPC - a ray of light in the city's music scene (see my rant about the Leadmill for the contempt in which music is held in mainstream quarters).

Agreed. I think just about all those releases have been reviewed and acclaimed on this very site, the ungrateful Tykes...

...although, to be fair, the BoO review, while being largely positive did contain the phrase "not exactly genius"...
