THE
DEBUT SINGLE
The astonishing PHONOTYPE who are currently, without fear of
contradiction, the best unsigned band in Britain, will be releasing
their debut single on Fierce Panda Records on September 24th. "Stars"
which kicks off with with the killer disdain - "Stop, stop snivelling"
- is as fine a debut as "The Drowners" was all that time
ago and features two more tunes - "Another Love Song" and
"Satellite" - that are so memorable they make a mockery
of the term 'b-side'. All the tracks were recorded and mixed at Westpoint
Studios and produced by Jon Jacobs and Jay Reynolds.
PHONOTYPE are a London-based
five-piece featuring Ben Beer on vocals, Jon Chilton on guitar, Matt
Bundy also on guitar (and backing vocals), Rob Payne on bass and backing
vocals and Andy Green on drums. Lead singer Beer is superb and a true
Rock God-in-waiting who's already been described as possessing the
"insouciant cool that's long deserted Liam Gallagher" whilst
Phonotype themselves - despite having elements of The Verve and the
Bunnymen in their midst - also boast the swagger of Suede, nay the
menacing appeal of Oasis at their peak. There are songs in their repertoire
('3PM' and 'If You Love Music" to name but two) you're going
to remember for a long time yet but ("Everywhere there's...")
'Stars' is quite beautiful and as epic an introduction to a band as
you're likely to get in this or any other year.
PHONOTYPE will be appearing live at Barfly at the Monarch on Chalk
Farm Road on Monday 13th August. They should be on stage around 9pm
so don't miss them.PHONOTYPE release 'Stars' coupled with 'Another
Lovesong' on seven inch single (catalogue number NING111) and CD single
with extra track 'Satellite' (NING111CD) on Fierce Panda Records on
September 24th. The seven inch will be limited to 500 copies"No,
we've had a bit of a run on those, try Woollies"
