Sarandon / The Membranes / Spike Milligan’s Tape Recorder

Slumberland

Flash back... England, 1984 A dark and ghostly land littered with the bodies of Thatcher's unwanted The stench was bad and the view was bleak Out of the gloom came a thunderous cacophony The Blackpool Tower shook to its foundations Could this be the Devil's own band? Spike Milligan's Tape Recorder The sound of dissent, the sound of agrievement, the sound of fun The sound of The Membranes Unsung heroes of the Post-Punk North John Robb, Mark Tilton, and Coofy Sid A trio of badass post-punkers who made one hell of a beautiful racket  Forward to... England, 2009 A dark and ghostly land littered with the bodies of Brown's unneeded The stench is bad and the view is bleak Out of the gloom comes a thunderous cacophony Canary Wharf shakes to its foundations Has the Devil returned with a brand new band? Spike Milligan's Tape Recorder The sound of dissent, the sound of agrievement, the sound of fun The sound of Sarandon Unsung heroes of the Post-Post-Post-Everything Tom Greenhalgh, Alan Brown, Crayola A trio of badass post-everythings who make one hell of a beautiful racket   Slumberland Records presents Spike Milligan's Tape Recorder to those who want to feel the history then and the history now. Keep beating the pulp from the pop-rock schlock hog. This single supports and is supported by the publication of Death to Trad Rock by The Membranes' John Robb: 900 pages that cover nearly 50 bands in that defiant, discordant DIY underground of bands, fanzines, and venues that sustained a remarkable and highly original scene of bands--perhaps the last stand of DIY culture in the UK.
