Description
Slacker rock is back with a heavy dose of satire; endless irresistible hooks; words that catch fast in your head; and walls of heavy grunge-fuelled guitars. One of Cambridge’s most promising new bands, the British Public is a celebration of British peculiarity through the medium of perfect, quirky rock.
These adventures through the great and the grim of Britain are the first threads unraveling in the intricate web of weirdness that inhabits The British Public - aka Robert Gregory. Debut double A Side single ‘Breasts’ and ‘Bears’ was released on limited edition 7” vinyl and followed by Bloodsports with both featured by Itunes as Noteworthy New Singles and radio support from new music gurus Steve Lamacq, Gideon Coe, Maconie & Radcliffe (BBC Six Music), John Kennedy (Xposure - XFM), John Hillcock (New Noise/BBC 6 Music). These three infectious tracks form part of this anticipated self-titled album - recorded in the Half Ton Studio, Cambridge by Neil James Rogers (Buggs/Hofman).
"Nirvana-shaped demons hiding in the closet" Artrocker
"What Message In A Bottle by the Police would sound like if played by Nirvana. It's actually the British Public...triumphant." Stuart Maconie, BBC 6 Music
“All riffs and wry eyebrows…The British Public owe somewhat of a debt to the best bits of 90s alt-rock. As I contemplate the killer hooks, the buzzing feedback, the wry lyricism, the vocal dead-eyed stare ... it’s brilliant!" Jon Hillcock (New Noise – BBC 6 Music)
"Slacker rock like Beck...infectious pop ditties with a wink and a twisted smile" Music-Zine -
