🎸 Scousers Scouse – For those who don’t speak the Queen’s English, but own every room they shout in.

This ain’t just a track. It’s a full English with extra sass — served on toast, wrapped in chip paper, and hollered straight from County Road to your eardrums. With jangly riffs brighter than the Blackpool lights and lyrics sharper than your nan’s side-eye, this is Merseyside’s answer to musical therapy.

⚓ Expect:
– Guitars jangle like stolen Aldi trolleys on cobblestones
– Lyrics that punch like a pub quiz argument
– A chorus that wears a footie scarf in summer
– And a dialect so thick you’ll need subtitles and a pint

💬 For fans of:
– Talking too fast, too proud, and too loud
– Tunes with backbone and shell suits with history
– Bands who say “la” more than “love”

Whether you're born on the banks of the Mersey or just wish your voice had a bit more swagger, “Scousers Scouse” is your anthem. It doesn’t whisper. It declares.

🎶 Dead proud. Dead funny. Dead boss.
💥 Press play — or get out me pub.

Lyrics:

Aye, I don’t chat posh, don’t need no frills
Me words come loud like Anfield thrills
Say “alright, la?” in the corner shop
And me vowels bounce mad like a dodgy bop

Me nan says I’ve got gob like me da
Talkin’ boss nonsense from here to Fazak
I don’t do grammar, I do heart
With a Scouse beat soundin’ dead smart

🎶 Scousers scouse — dead proud, y’know
With a voice like rain on County Road
We don’t whisper, we declare
Proper sound, we’re everywhere

Scousers scouse — la, that’s the way
From Lark Lane sun to Kirkby grey
We don’t speak, we proper shout
Scousers scouse — no messin’ about 🎶

She said, “Yer sound mad, can’t understand”
I said, “Try learnin’ with a pint in yer hand”
We don’t do quiet, we don’t do shy
We say “ta-ra” with a wink in the eye

Grew up with tunes an’ footie shirts
Dead proud of me roots, and the Scouse it hurts
But we laugh it off with chip shop slang
And a deadpan jab from me uncle Frank

🎶 Scousers scouse — built on jokes
In shell suits, boots, and smokey pokes
Boss at banter, soft at heart
Scouse chat’s proper workin’ class art

Scousers scouse — with jangle in step
Talkin’ dead fast with nothin’ left
But pride and chips and songs we hum —
Scousers scouse, we don’t play dumb 🎶

We don’t say much — just say it loud
In Aldi queues or footie crowds
And if yer don’t get it, that’s your loss
Cos Scousers scouse — and we’re dead boss

🎶 Scousers scouse — we make it rhyme
Outta pain, outta laughs, outta tea-time grime
We talk like tales in a taxi ride
Scousers scouse — full Mersey pride 🎶

So if I sound like the telly’s broke
It’s just me sayin’ — I’m sound, no joke

From Impose Magazine: 

Knife Pleats is the newest project from the prolific Rose Melberg, whose past projects include Tiger Trap, The Softies, Go Sailor, Gaze, Imaginary Pants, PUPS, and several solo records. The first singles from the Vancouver-based project, which features Kaity McWhinney and Tracey Vath of Love Cuts and drummer Gregor Phillips, recall the sounds Melberg is most known for: crisp and bouncy guitar pop and heartfelt lyrics. 

On “One Step Too Far,” Melberg contemplates the passage of time (“Please don’t change too much too fast these days won’t last long”) against lively arraignments. “Terrible” is slightly more pensive, a reflection of the inner workings of a relationship. Both tracks are sure to appeals to Melberg fans old and new.

Purchase on iTunes - https://itun.es/gb/68Xo-

Recorded during sessions for critically acclaimed debut album A Dream Outside, the band recently took the time during a hectic live calendar to revisit the tracks and this release was born.
 
It was a process that has also led them to a new creative partner in producer/mixer Nicolas Vernhes (Deerhunter, The War On Drugs, Animal Collective) who worked with the band on lead track ‘Tired Eyes’ - a live favourite now fully realised.
 
Frontman Felix Bushe had this to say on working with the revered producer:
 
“We have been huge admirers of Nicholas Vernhes and all the incredible records he has produced and recorded. It was a real dream come true to find that he was a fan of what we were doing and be given the opportunity to work together and a song of ours.”
 
 
This extended player features further new material in the tracks ‘Loki’ and ‘Fade To Black’, both initial contenders for the debut album that the quartet is excited to share with this release.
 
The ‘Tired Eyes’ EP will also form part of a deluxe edition of A Dream Outside, released Wednesday 30th September, it will also make much loved b-side ‘Haunter’ and recent Fugazi cover ‘I’m So Tired’ available.
