  • Type: Single
  • Release date: 16/01/2006
  • Label: One Records

Lying somewhere between Fugazi’s enigmatic abstract punk and every pop sensibility found in rock music are Fickle Public. Having been around for the past five years (earlier under the guise of Purple Munkie) this Scottish quartet have honed their techniques and songwriting talents in anticipation of their debut album, of which this is the first single. This is a rampant 150 seconds of intangibly emphatic rock with big sub-metal guitars and occasionally over-vigorous indie vocals. If you keep thinking in the same vein as Jetplane Landing and Aereogramme, you’ll understand this. Fickle Public been heralded as ones to watch by some. You’d be hard pushed to disagree.

Fickle public = awesome.

Not heard this tune yet, but I've been a big fan of everything else.


amazing...

Yeah i love this song. It's tremendous, better than their previous single.

Can't wait for the album.


yes

especially like The Simpsons referencing title. It's up there with Local Man Ruins Everything by some band or another.


I think..

Their last single 'Kittens Got Claws' is a Simpsons reference as well.. I can't remember which character but some says about Lisa

'That kitten's got claws!!"

Might be wrong!


it's great!

hooray!


beef

i got their tour ep #2 with this song on, but is this a re-recorded version? i saw the video to kittens got claws and it sounded like a different recording to the ep version.

anyways, very good band


yeah..

they've recorded all those songs for the new album and b-sides, the re-worked version of Courtney Cox is much faster and meaner. Sounds great!

The Tour EPs are ultimately demo versions of the singles and album :o)


Aye

It's all new recordings folks.


i saw the

video of this the other day in TopShop on Oxford Street.. it was one of those weird moments where the world turns upside down.

cannot wait for this!
