Tactical POP! for Coffee Cadets

VINYL FORMAT. Super limited edition release! Only 300 copies pressed. Hand assembled, high quality gatefold 7" sleeve with a CD and 7" and an OBI strip that wraps the entire package. Featuring singer-guitarist Andy Hitchcock and bassist Kevin House (both formerly of Sarah Records Action Painting!), plus guitarist Axel Amicabile and drummer Julien Kokot. Hitchcock explains that their name was chosen "for its deliberate awkwardness, as an antidote to an atmosphere of smug apathy and marketing subservience in the British music scene. Their intent: to be the anti-Kooks." The eight songs that make up Tactical POP! brim with a relentless vigor that need no explanation to be understood. The band's briskly strummed guitars and galloping rhythms, and Hitchcock's eternally youthful voice, combine to make some of the most effortlessly engaging pop in recent, or even long-distant memory.
