Granted unique access to propaganda films from WWII-era Britain by the BFI and setting them to new music, Public Service Broadcasting unveil 'The War Room EP'. Expect breathtaking visuals, atmospheric synths, pounding drums, Krautrock guitars and poignant piano as J. Willgoose, Esq and his drumming companion Wrigglesworth teach the lessons of the past through the music of the future...

The lead track from the EP is named 'Spitfire' - an adaptation of the 1942 propaganda film 'The First of the Few', telling the story of the origins of the talismanic fighter. The track is a driving, Krautrock-influenced tune and the video stars Hollywood legends David Niven & Leslie Howard.

Howard was viewed by Josef Goebbels as the most dangerous British propagandist of the era and his own life was to end in tragedy when the passenger plane he was travelling on in 1943 was shot down by the Luftwaffe over the Bay of Biscay.

'The War Room EP' is dedicated to J. Willgoose, Esq.'s great-uncle, George Willgoose, who died at the Battle of Dunkirk in May 1940 aged 26. The final track of the EP, 'Waltz for George', is a sombre close to affairs, featuring the banjolele owned and played by George Willgoose which has remained in the family.

After the success of The War Room, PSB are moving ever upwards - this time setting their sights on the summit of Everest.

The song is based on the 1953 film 'The Conquest of Everest', which told the story of Hillary, Tensing et al's successful ascent of the tallest mountain in the world, and which was directed by expedition member George Lowe.

'Signal 30' is a notoriously grisly and hard-hitting US road safety film from 1959. Taking inspiration from the original title, and stopping via numerous other American
public information driving films including 'The Bottle and The Throttle' and 'None For
The Road', PSB deliver three and a half minutes of pure adrenaline - driving fast so you
don't have to.

'Inform - Educate - Entertain' is released on Test Card Recordings on May 6 2013 and
features previous singles 'Spitfire', 'ROYGBIV' and 'Everest', three tracks which all won
BBC 6Music's Rebel Playlist in 2012 - a breakthrough year for the band which saw the
band selling 13k copies of their debut release 'The War Room' EP.

J. Willgoose, Esq. and his drumming companion, Wrigglesworth, will embark on a
mammoth 46 date tour of the UK in late February, March and May in support of the
single and album - taking care to drive safely along the way, of course. 

All tickets available from: http://publicservicebroadcasting.net

PSB will be releasing a super limited edition 7” vinyl to tie in with Record Store Day on 20 April
