Released July 20 through Line Out Records



I’m scared...never has my finger so dutifully twitched towards the stop button. Never have my ears wanted to drop off, grow legs and run away, apart from the first time I watched Reservoir Dogs, but most importantly, I've never heard anything quite like this.

History of Guns then; I feel slightly out of my depth with these Goth weirdo’s and, quite frankly, I’m glad of this.

New single, ‘When You Don’t Matter’, is a dark and seemingly meaningful trip into a world of despair with little musical substance. The piss poor vocals are obviously meant to come across the way they do but for what reason will always be beyond a reasonable person.

These guys probably love the fact they’re so creepy and diverse but they are in fact so desperately normal and like the rest of us that their music really isn’t breaking the boundaries they've invented and will only end up on the playlist of Newt from Hollyoaks.

Things go from bad to worse when an adaption of the Spice Girls’ ‘Spice Up Your Life’ comes to fruition on the second track. Astutely renamed ‘Slice Up Your Wife’, the track needs little introduction or explanation but does involve moments of make believe dread when singer, Del Alien (nuff said), amusingly sings “Rip his cock off, burst his spleen, take his eyes out, and all that's in between.”

A bad joke.
