Ginger! If it wasn't for you i may never have heard this song, or Exit International.

Did you really have to end? Think this will be on repeat for 24 hours, and then when the single comes out.

Press For Exit_International's debut album 'Black Junk':
“Raucous, noisy fun – This is the beginning – Resistance is futile” KKKK Kerrang!
“Memorable moment after memorable moment...a staggering wall of sound” 8/10 Rocksound
“Intense, sweaty and claustrophobic; energetic enough to power your street” 8/10 This Is Fake DIY
"Remarkably smart and focused - dark, devastatingly good music" BBC Online

Exit_International:
Fudge Wilson: Bass / Vocals
Adam Thomas: Drums / Percussion
Scott Lee Andrews: Vocals / Bass

Elvis Costello, Cyndi Lauper, The Buzzcocks, Missy Elliot, Devo....all wrote singles about the magical art of onanism. Or 'wanking' to those without instant google access. As purile as it may seem, delving deeply into this topic has paid off with some timeless music. Not ones to shy away from such complicated themes – Cardiff's Exit_International will release their own paean to self-love – 'Chainsaw Song' – picked up by BBC Radio 1 for a week of prime-time airplay from the likes of Fearne Cotton and Greg James in February.

Coming out of the traps like a bastard son of T-Rex, Nine Inch Nails, Soulwax and The Pixies – 'Chainsaw Song' has become a live favourite of the cult of E_I – Possibly the best way of easing oneself into the rest of the band's recent debut album 'Black Junk' – which made many independent 'Album of the Year' lists of 2011 – Including a top three appearance in Alternative Press's Editor-in chief Jason Pettigrew's personal picks.

The release is backed with an exclusive re-recording of 'Black Junk's opening assault 'Glory Horn' – this time with added guitar and vocals from E_I Fan and friend Ginger Wildheart. Exclusive new material appears in the form of 'Queen Of The Flunkies' and 'Widowmaker'.

Exit_International have risen from obscurity to being heralded as ‘ones to watch’ in the UK and the US, with resulting (P.A. destroying) appearances on the BBC Introducing Stage at Reading and Leeds, 2000 Trees, Guilfest, Leopallooza, Merthyr Rock festivals and sessions recorded for BBC Radio 1 Introducing - including their (now) infamous cover of Nirvana's 'Territorial Pissings'.

Whilst tours with Ginger Wildheart, Hawk Eyes, Monster Magnet, Blitz Kids, and hand-picked dates with Kids In Glasshouses, Pulled Apart By Horses and The Bronx, spread the carnage of the E_I live performance, 'Black Junk' propells the audio carnage into your very own bedroom with it's limitless duel-bass fronted noise-rock. Kerrang magazine tipped the band in '20 bands to watch in 2012' and followed that up with a full feature in April 2012.

Dual-bass-led noise-pop terrorists EXIT_INTERNATIONAL (E_I) unleashed the follow-up to 2011's critically acclaimed, Welsh Music Prize-nominated 'Black Junk' in March 2014. For this album, the band decided to free themselves of label ties, and 'OUR SCIENCE IS GOLDEN' was recorded with funding from the PledgeMusic direct-to-fan platform, powered by E_I's rabid, culty, global fan base (search for 'EXIT_INTERNATIONAL ARE WANKERS'). E_I reached their target funding for the project in just over an hour, and the following week they recorded Our Science Is Golden in just five days. It was tracked at Monnow Valley Studio in South Wales, with long-time friend Todd Campbell, while The Pixies recorded their new material a few miles down the road – that's one for the fact-fans.

Expanding on the scuzzy, schizo blueprint of the band's debut LP, 'OSIG' sees the band pushing away in every direction. It might sound like a sophomore album cliché to say that when it’s “popper (the band's favourite new material-describing adjective), heavier, darker and more melodic than before, it's WAAAAAAY popper, heavier, darker and more melodic than before” – but it’s true. Whether it’s the scene-setting pop nail bomb 'Weird Card', the feedback-drenched grunge-punk of 'Black Jesus (Pink Pound)’, the hip-swinging sex-swagger of the title track or the chaotic ad-libbed 'Juvenile Pacemaker', 'OSIG' is the sound of a band raising the bar.

When Exit_International formed in 2009, the rock press heralded them as ‘ones to watch’, and tours followed with Ginger Wildheart, Baby Godzilla, Monster Magnet and Castrovalva, along with hand-picked dates with Kids In Glass Houses, Pulled Apart By Horses and The Bronx. And that’s not to mention appearances on the BBC Introducing Stage at Reading & Leeds, Gloucestershire’s 2000trees, GuilFest, Cornwall’s Leopallooza, Merthyr Rock, as well as sessions recorded for BBC Introducing.

E_I’s reputation also spread far and wide when their paean to self-love, 'Chainsaw Song', was picked up by BBC Radio 1 for a week of prime-time airplay from the likes of Fearne Cotton and Greg James. Then they gained even more attention when they nabbed the Band Of The Year 2013 accolade at the Pure Rawk Awards last February, when “Who the fuck are they?” was the most-asked question of the evening. E_I were once again nominated in this year’s PRA's, for Release Artwork Of The Year (album/EP/single) for ‘Our Science Is Golden’, Bassist Of The Year for Fudge Wilson, and finally Band Of The Year.
