Spinning Out (another music podcast) We talk to artists about their favorite albums and go on wild tangents. 

Today we're talking with artist Mike King about the 1980 post-punk album, "For How Much Longer Do We Tolerate Mass Murder" by The Pop Group. To be honest I'd never heard of this album, but was super into it & so glad Mike introduced me to it. it's such a viscerally political record that still resonates in so many ways today. 

We also talk later in the conversation about the 2nd pressing of Mike's book, Maximum Plunder, which compiles his 30+ years of art into one amazing book. You'd recognize his work with Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Black Flag, Mudhoney, Public Enemy, Ice T, Ornette Coleman & Sun Ra. Honestly, the list goes on and on. 

Maximum Plunder is available for purchase now. Each order receives an art print signed by Mike King, while supplies last: https://shop.gocollect.com/

Now, more than ever is the time to say again
For How Much Longer Do We Tolerate Mass Murder?

Post punk provocateurs The Pop Group announce the reissue of their long out of print second studio album, For How Much Longer Do We Tolerate Mass Murder? through Freaks R Us on Friday 19th February 2016.

It will be the first time the highly sought after album has been reissued, let alone made available digitally or on CD. The vinyl edition remains true to the ambitious aesthetics of the original release, coming packaged with eight giant original artwork prints on four double-sided posters, and the CD format will include smaller versions of all the posters.

Originally released in March 1980 on their own Y label through Rough Trade, For How Much Longer Do We Tolerate Mass Murder? spent 20 weeks in the Indie charts, peaking at #1. Produced and mixed by the band, For How Much Longer Do We Tolerate Mass Murder? represents the quintessential independent Pop Group album - untethered, entrenched and completely committed to challenging the political orthodoxy of the day and savagely denunciating its failings.

The Pop Group singer and lyricist, Mark Stewart says: “Context is crucial. At the time, The Pop Group were playing multiple rallies and benefits across Europe from Scrap SUS to Aid for Cambodia to our final blow out at the 500,000 strong Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament rally in Trafalgar Square.”

Declared a “revolutionary, anti-imperialist manifesto” by Mark Paytress (MOJO, Record Collector, Rolling Stone), the album has been celebrated by Uncut as one of the 50 Greatest Lost Albums.

The Pop Group released Citizen Zombie, their third studio recording and first album in 35 years to widespread acclaim in February 2015.
