Excerpt:
“Today marks the eighth anniversary of The Clash’s Joe Strummer’s death, and the Joe Strummer Foundation for New Music has been doing an incredible job promoting new music in his honour. Strummerville, established shortly after the musician’s death in 2002, was founded by his wife Lucinda in order to provide rehearsal space and studio time to musicians who lack the funding to do so on their own.”

The dispossessed. The disillusioned. The bastard sons..the single mums. Filed under scum.
Deadtime cannot and will not be part of a scene or genre.
Relentless gigs all over the UK, including all the major cities, and the nowhere towns, where most bands dont bother to go has gained the band an ever growing army of dangerously devoted fans. Their militant working class stance caught the eye of Clash legend, Mick Jones who took Deadtime out as very special guests. Since the tour Murdoch has recorded a single and album with The Tribunes..out on honest jons records, containing Mick Jones rhythm section from Carbon/silicon.
Deadtime continue to recieve outstanding reviews for their high octane, raw, emotive live shows, as well as international and national radio airplay.
Based in ex mining town Swadlincote, South Derby. Still on its knees from Thatchers strangle hold on the working classes. Murdochs songwriting reflects the carnage left behind. Deadtime have a massive chip on their shoulder.. welcoming you to knock it off.
Them:
Murdoch – vocals, guitars, samples
Kerry ann – vocals, synth, percussion
Sam Toms – bass, miscellaneous
Lee Shaw – Drums, percussion
SICK of half assed, lame brain, say nothing, do nothing, know nothing, soft soap slackers seeking quick fix sell out solutions?
HUNGRY for rock n roll that gets off its knees , makes the heart swell , with a sonic charge that engages the brain and the solar plexus?
READY for songs that might actually capture what its like to live or thrive, lose and win, skive and drive through “the land of the hope and glory and the land of rock n roll”?
Well then… THIS is your sonic wake up call.
The Supernovas are the very shape, sound and vision of cutting edge, skank fuelled, culture crossing, 2nd decade, 21st century North London London Rock n Roll Band.
Playing together since they were 16 the Holloway Road based 4 piece are Joei Silvester London Irish, Derry City fanatic, frontman Singer and rhythm Guitarist, Columbian lead guitarist Rizo, bass supremo Panashe Nyandoro and rocket fuelled drummer Moses Elliott.
Self motivated, alert, sharp and curious enough about the world to smash the mask of complacency that sometimes makes sane folk wake up sweating and screaming, wondering “What the hell happened to rock n roll in this country?”
Relax The Supernovas are here. They are busy writing their debut album, have released three singles and are mashing up stages across the nation. This energy is infectious, the voice of this generation …
The wise guys, smart girls, and cool cats are already in on the secret, now its your turn.
On 30th November 2009 underground hero Beans On Toast will release his debut album – Standing On A Chair – a 50 track double album incorporating all his songs to date.
The gravel-voiced singer/songwriter from Braintree has been busy penning songs on his child-sized guitar for the past couple of years. His Bragg-esque odes take in themes of sex (‘Junkfood Sex’), drugs (‘M.D.M.Amazing’), sex whilst on drugs (‘Eggs Benadict’) and wry social, political commentary that is both poignant and funny (‘Fuck The Smoking Ban’, ‘London At War’). Occasionally he has made them available online. Occasionally he has stood on a chair and sung them out in pubs and clubs up and down the country. Finally, now, he’s collected them all together and presented them in an old-skool double disc album.
‘Standing On A Chair’ is the perfect antidote to the glossy, cheesy, manufactured Christmas dross that is currently clogging up the charts. An anti-Christmas, Christmas album best enjoyed post-pub with good friends, cheap booze and in high spirits.
Having just played to around 16,000 people whilst supporting friend Frank Turner on his huge UK sold out tour, he will be heading out, with his guitar and wooden chair to play his own shows in January 2010. Further details to come.
We love Beans On Toast and are grateful for all his amazing support and general good vibes around all our work here at Strummerville.
