Today we're delighted to welcome Adults to the family (aka Dan, Joe, Joely and Tom). Our story starts almost five years ago when me and Rich were living in Exeter. Tom was also living there at the time and had somehow convinced This Town Needs Guns to play in his living room. It was invite only and me and Richard had to practically beg him to let us come*. In Tom's words "I remember stalking Dave online and thinking his label was pretty shitty but now they're all my fav bands."

TL:DR: Tom is a bit of a shit, but over the years we've grown to admire him.

Back to the future, Adults formed after meeting via school, friends, gigs and drunken late nights talks in clubs in London and Dublin. In their words they bonded over "desperately trying to be adults and desperately trying to rip off other bands." Which leads us on neatly to their debut single released today as part nine of the Postcard Club.

'MSN' provides 3:48 of screeching guitars, girl-boy vocals (sometimes shouted, sometimes landing softly) and most importantly a portal to the summer of 2009. A time when Johnny Foreigner seemed like the biggest thing in the world and no-one blinked an eyelid at band names like Cats and Cats and Cats. At the same time the track's lyrical content harks back even further - the days of everyone's favourite instant messenger. The band have neatly summarised it as thus:

"Remember when every word meant something, every emoticon, every song you were currently playing, hoping someone would notice you. Remember how none of that really mattered but how you can't forget it. Remember staring at the screen waiting for that Mormon girl you fancied to finish 'typing...'. Remember the usernames, sid neptune. Remember saying you were out to lunch when you weren't. g2g mum is using the phone fml x."

If you want to catch Adults live, they're playing at The Good Ship, Kilburn on 20th October.

*For the fact fans, it was also the first time we met Georgie. Additionally the whole thing was livestreamed on the internet and can probably be found if you look hard enough.

The Swedish national election is coming up and that means we’re putting out a new single. What else could we do? There are references to church bells in the lyrics, listeners from outside of Sweden might want to know this: In May 2014 and on a couple of occasions since, churches in Sweden have been ringing their bells during nazi marches to warn the public. Before 2014 this hadn’t been done since 1939. Because of the huge problems we have with increasing racism in our country it is a very welcome gesture. Personally we don’t believe in gods but we do believe nazis and their peers - however they choose to present or disguise themselves - should be dealt with like in World War II.

Going Down Swinging

Church bells are ringing today
God is on the right side for once
We will go down swinging you say
Oh to die at the hands of a fascist dunce

These church bells
I love what they say
Nazis should be dealt with like in Normandie
Only inbreds join an alt right parade
Someone please tell that to Morrissey

Going down swinging now
Going down swinging now
Going down swinging now

Church bells are ringing today
God is on the right side for once
We will go down swinging you say
But I never fought anyone
I just got beat up you see
Can’t give that pleasure to a nazi devotee

Going down swinging now
Going down swinging now
Going down swinging now

Do the right thing now
When you’re in that moment
Do the right thing now
In your heart you know it
You’re not fooling anyone
You know this is for real
