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.

Zipperface Goth-Trad Remix is Out Now:
https://thepopgroup.lnk.to/TGP-RMX

Japan’s very own ‘Sound Originator’ Takeaki Maruyama aka Goth-Trad has produced a monumental remix of The Pop Group’s first single Zipperface from their new album Honeymoon On Mars

An indispensable ringleader in Tokyo’s dubstep scene and a prolific proponent of raw dubwise futurism Goth-Trad released his first solo record in 2004. After supporting The Mars Volta on their Japanese tour the same year, he followed his promising debut with the eclectic experimentations of 2005’s 'Mad Raver’s Dance Floor', a record which scored him international success with the enduring early dubstep classic 'Back to Chill'. His fourth European tour in 2006 saw him link up with Mala of Digital Mystikz at the seminal dubstep night FWD>> and a subsequent appearance on the renowned Deep Medi Musik label represented a watershed moment. A flurry of releases on the likes of Skud Beats and Soul Jazz Records as well as appearances at DMZ and support from The Bug, Kode9 and Mary Anne Hobbs subsequently established his place in the continuum of contemporary bass music.  

On his reworking of Zipperface, Goth-Trad takes the original into infernal depths and draws out oppressive levels of tension infusing Dennis Bovell’s prior mixing desk manipulations with sparse soundsystem brutality.

The original Zipperface single is available on the new album Honeymoon On Mars. Out Now: https://ThePopGroup.lnk.to/HoneymoonOnMars

The single is taken from the 10 track album produced by dub titan Dennis Bovell, who worked on The Pop Group's seminal debut album 'Y', and Hank Shocklee, producer of Public Enemy’s iconic first three albums as a member of the Bomb Squad. Honeymoon On Mars was released through Freaks R Us on Friday October 28th 2016.

Zipperface Not Waving Remix is Out Now: https://thepopgroup.lnk.to/ZipperfaceNotWavingRefix

The original 'Zipperface' single is available on the new album Honeymoon On Mars. Out Now: https://ThePopGroup.lnk.to/HoneymoonOnMars

"It was an honour to be able to work on the music of a band that meant so much in my life" Not Waving

One of the more prominent personalities to emerge on Powell’s Diagonal Records, Alessio Natalizia aka Not Waving has produced a relentless acid refix of The Pop Group’s first single 'Zipperface' from their new album 'Honeymoon On Mars'

Hailing from Italy but now based in London, Natalizia has been operating under the Not Waving guise since 2013, clocking up an impressive series of self-released cassettes and LPs on his own Ecstatic Recordings imprint. As well as applying himself to a continuing evolution in his own music, Natalizia has also displayed a specialist interest in obscurities from the 80s underground. This interest culminated in the 2013 release of 'Mutazione: Italian Electronic & New Wave Underground 1980-1988', an acclaimed compilation of proto-industrial and primitive electronic music that completely reset the consensus on Italian music in the 1980s. Whilst maintaining a strong release schedule on Ecstatic (Pye Corner Audio, Gavin Russom, The Tapes, Daniele Ciullini and more) this year Natalizia perfected Not Waving’s calling card with 'Animals', an LP that alternated between and often combined liminal ambience, industrial amplitude and incisive, malfunctioning body music. 

On the back of touring America with the Diagonal Records crew Not Waving completes a trilogy of Pop Group remixes after contributions from Hanz and Goth-Trad. Like Hanz and Goth-Trad it comes from a place of enduring respect for The Pop Group’s daring experimentalism. Yet unlike the efforts of Hanz and G-T, Zipperface isn’t led into shadowy echo chambers or sub-bass assault but carved up and weaponised into a barrage of convulsive computer glitch, muscular EBM and thuggish acid. 

The single is taken from the 10 track album produced by dub titan Dennis Bovell, who worked on their seminal debut album 'Y', and Hank Shocklee, producer of Public Enemy’s iconic first three albums as a member of the Bomb Squad. 'Honeymoon On Mars' was released through Freaks R Us on Friday October 28th 2016.
