Shellsuit

SHELLSUIT "These Are Extraordinary Times" We Keep Being Told Then Comes The Blow To The Solar Plexus. "But Where Are The Artistic Voices Of Dissent". People Are On The Look Out For The 'Ghost Town' Of Our Era But As Usual Are Putting Their Heads In The Wrong Places. You’re Not Gonna Find It Off Some Contrived Sloganeering Punk Band Who Once Watched The First Half Of A Ken Loach Film. Neither Will You Get It From The Ranks Of Cosy Rock Acts Content To Rhyme 'together' With 'forever ' Whose Only Concession Is An Album Track Putting An Expensive Boot Into The Corpse Of George Bush. You're Already Thinking 'What Are They Selling?' And I'm Replying 'It Isn't For Sale But It Is The Cast Iron Real Article'- This Band Is 'Shellsuit'. A Collection Of Individuals From That Most Dangerous Of Groupings The Self-Educated Working Class.
No Room For Stereotypes Here. Shellsuit Don't Read 'The Sun' Because They Know Its Written By Graduates Getting Into Character To Talk Down To The Masses. Similarly They See The Link Between The Anonymous Police Blogger Who Calls The Poor “evil” And The Fact That Their Family And Friends Have Infinitely More Chance Of Getting A Criminal Record Than A Degree. Listen To 'Iraquis In Shellsuits' From The Forthcoming LP 'Walton Prison Blues' And Hear The Greatest Song Of Its Type Since 'Racist Friend'. Play The Song 'The Radio Sings' And Know It Inhabits The Same Rarefied World Of Imagination That Brought Us 'Ghost Town'. Their Forthcoming Single 'Black And Tan' Captures One Of The Revelatory Moments That Nudge The Manual Worker To Become The Seeker Of Knowledge. It’s Politics Of The Kind That Seeps Into Every Moment Of Your Life Like It Or Not.
These Waves Of Artistic Beauty Always Come From Out Of Sight. They Tap You On The Shoulder And You Either Run Along With It Or Tell The Story Of How You Let It Slip.
This Is The Tap On The Shoulder The Rest Is Down To You… Higuera Records 2009 Www.Myspace.Com/shellsuit01
