Popular Workshop are an indie rock trio based in London. Their first E.P. "Stutter and Dance" was relased in 2007 . They followed up a nationwide tour with Art Brut in February 2008 by flying to Chicago the next day to record their debut album with Steve Albini at Electrical Audio studios, which will be officially birthed unto the world in September, entitled 'We're Alive, And We're Not Alone'. The first fruits of this work will be the single 'PopSong', released July 7th on This Is Fake DIY Recordings (home of Duels and We Are The Physics). The band came together through a love of abrasive guitars and collapsing drums when pseudo-brothers Jake and Luke found Gypsy and forced him to "sing whilst playing the guitar". On record they create their own world of art-disco and discordant chaos inspired by and compared to a spazzed-out danced up Sonic Youth, Bloc Party, Shellac and Elastica. Popular Workshop have played live with the likes of Los Campesinos!, Blood Red Shoes and Good Shoes to name but a few, whilst releasing 7” singles and an EP via the labels Studio Penguin, Tigertrap, Fake Product, and Tough Love.
