Biography
People//Talk are a 4 piece post-punk band from Liverpool, England.

October 2014 will see the bands second EP released through San diego based Bleeding Gold Records.

People//Talk formed in a pub in January of 2012 under the original name of So Sexual.

What started out as a few friends who had previously played in bands together thinking that maybe it’d be fun to write a bunch of songs and play a gig (which they did in the space of the first month), has 2 years later proven to have a little more longevity than any of them might have anticipated.

Within that time frame the band now known as People//Talk have developed their own distinct identity, drawing upon elements of post/punk and new wave whilst delivering a contemporary, accessable sound.

For those who are already familiar with and enjoyed the bands previous works as ‘So Sexual’ you will be pleased to find that a change of name doesn’t mean a departure from the overall sound.

For those of you listening to People//Talk for the first time here’s what you should know-


This new release contains 5 tracks written between winter ’13 and Spring ’14.

The EP explores the highs and lows of romantic entanglement. A universal theme set against a bright musical backdrop that compliments each twist and turn of the lyrical subject matter.

For fans of: The Chameleons, Interpol, The Cure, New Order

Holy Stain take the baton and run sideways in two directions: on one hand a noisier prospect, with more distortion, on the other a band not afraid of repetition and veering into the krautrock territory.

Bands this age aren't meant to sound like this. Holy Stain take their influences and tear them apart until you don't know what the hell you are dealing with. Gargantuan guitars, seductive basslines and hide and seek vocals all come out to play, inviting you to be part of the twisted fun. Bands aren't meant to sound like this to people of most ages, but by listening to these songs you are being lavished with the most exciting sounds you will hear all year. IT'S YOUR REWARD.
- Howling Owl Records

'They’re a hard-edged young foursome, but in a deep and chest cavity-pummelling kind of way, not trebley-Strat sheer and sharp. The rhythm section groove – bass, especially – is strong, and their appeal is mass, even in an instrumental track (partly, perhaps, because it conjures the image of a slathering, slo-mo, big bounding dog). Partly like post-rock, only shorn of the technical posturing and dull/worthy breakdowns; hook-filled enough to recall stadium fillers, but with a much greater-than-the-norm depth:surface ratio. Called back for an encore, they effortlessly switch to multi-vocalled full-frontal assault and knock off a Jesus & Mary Chain cover in Ramones-like manner. Impressive'. 
-Venue Magazine's review of the Harbourside Festival at Thekla

Holy Stain turned out an impressive rock show which recalled the early 90's. This band do what any young band should - pick up their guitars and make an unholy racket. Somewhere between Sonic Youth and Shoegaze, they're pretty good at it too!
