This song’s topic ain’t sexy but we had to write it anyway; it took some (broken) guts to put it out. It's about disablism, death by indifference, and a failing, flailing health system. It's personal and it's political. It's musically and lyrically twisted, eyeballing the
abyss without blinking.

Bio
The band called TV FACE are a gang-of-three from Lancaster (UK). They are known for their ear-blistering and intense live shows, and described as “a wonderful trident of piercing guitar, bass and drums, unified by vocals through the torrent of hot noise, thunderous rumble and acid-scuzz” (Louder Than War). Gloriously, riotously, unashamedly angry, with a dash of indignation, and a soupçon of incredulity, their songs rage at the expectations of the keep-calm-and-carry-on-gang.

Their debut album Tide of Men was released on 22 September 2023 on Evil Blizzard’s label Crackedankles Records (who have released Evil Blizzard, Thank, Hot Wax, Fighting, and more), and it was been named album of the week by Louder Than War, Kool Strings, Loose Cannon, and was one of Operation X-Ray's albums of the year.

The self-produced album was recorded partly in an old church, and partly in a bungalow in rural Lancashire, and mastered by Pete Maher (White Stripes, Pixies). The first single - I knew a girl I didn’t know here - was released as a limited edition lathe-cut 7” single that sold out in a couple of hours. 

TV FACE have been played by, amongst others, Huw Stephens on Radio One, tipped as one to watch by Tom Robinson (6Music), playlisted by John Kennedy (Radio X), championed by BBC Music Introducing Lancashire, Frank Skinner (Absolute Radio) and Mat Baty (Pigsx7, Amazing Radio). They have supported Warmduscher, Evil Blizzard, FlithyDirty, Objections, and Brix Smith.

Press Quotes
"Whatever it is, it’s backed up by tight bass and drums and huge reverb laden guitar textures, unfolding a grindhouse tale of fear and paranoia.” - Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6 Music

“It's just absolutely fantastic. It's music that smashes against walls and floors and ceilings and changes shape on each ecstatic, erratic, elastic bounce. ... An explosive, serrated slice of jagged schizoid noise pop, with those post-punk corners, kept sharp.” - Louder Than War

Thanks for visiting. This is a retro eclectic music mix with looming influences from among others Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Lou Reed & Jon Lord. Mostly I write about the human condition.

I am always looking for a guitar player that wants to collaborate. Would be fun to find a real drummer also.

A Gat is a cat in Catalan - it all makes sense if you’re me. The (s) stands for many collaborators.

I encourage everybody on SC to listen more and be less transactional.

You've finally found us! We are Chimps of The Future!

We've got no promotional budget, we're doing this for fun, more people join us everyday, click follow and learn to sing along.

The songs on our album are arranged in a very particular order. It's an old rock tradition called "The Concept Album".

We also have a bit of work from our sister band K:KITCHEN RADIO.

Hail Eris, all Hail Discordia!
