Everything is Blue

i've been feeling distant
i've been tryna figure it out
just don't know how

every time I miss it
I begin to freak myself out
bring myself down

how lonely I’ve been
it's hard to fight it
forget what I did
but i'm hid behind it

I was gonna end it
I was always thinking out loud
pardon my mouth

i've been tryna fix it
i've been tryna pack and head out

how lonely I’ve been
it's hard to fight it
forget what I did
but i'm hid behind it

thinking out loud

Don't pretend to be my friend
Don't hurt me 
Pleased to meet kind sir
Assert thee 
Wait for ever on the phone 
Distracting Jeeves

Can we meet half way
Will you give me the time of day

I wouldn't stab you in the back of a pickup truck
I wouldn't talk behind your back you vindictive fuck

This is not fun and games
There is no one to blame

The Prefects first full-length vinyl collection of studio recordings 
‘Going Through The Motions’ out 29th November 2019 

Label: Call Of The Void
Pre-order: https://callofthevoid.lnk.to/theprefectsgoing

Despite punk’s initial revolutionary fervour, its prime originators soon bowed to same static paths leading to chart hits and financial success which had lingered since the advent of The Beatles - faux rebellion, coordinated stage wear, “heartfelt” performances . . .

The Prefects? Not too bothered. Singer Robert Lloyd made self-effacing jokes and shaved on stage, band members came and went quickly, non-members contributed tunes. No one even remembers who started the band.

In punk’s early days, The Prefects played around Birmingham, blagged their way onto The Clash’s White Riot tour when The Jam couldn’t hack it, toured with The Buzzcocks, and shared bills with Ultravox, The Fall, Generation X, and The Damned.

Despite tours and music press notoriety, the band was not once approached by even the sketchiest of labels. Nor did they go looking. Originally taken by the energy he heard in The Ramones, singer Robert Lloyd soon saw limitations in that approach and, as he puts it, “. . . simply realised I enjoyed Faust and Beefheart more.” What passions the band members shared soon dissipated. Near the end, they were asked to record a session for John Peel. Over the next few months, there were three more shows, a quick follow-up second Peel session, a final hometown performance . . . and that was it. They never even managed a demo.

‘Going Through The Motions’ is the first full-length vinyl collection of their studio recordings.

Although a few tunes don’t stray from the general sounds of their time, there’s innovation and humour here. ‘Escort Girls’ may be the first recorded forerunner of American hardcore. ‘The Bristol Road Leads To Dachau’ hints at Joy Division’s later The Atrocity Exhibition. Taking it a step farther than Alternative TV’s ‘How Much Longer’ with its deliberate dirge, ‘Going Through The Motions’, mocks punk expectation against an almost psychedelic haze. ‘Total Luck’ bears the early evidence of Lloyd’s lone-man confessional style, and ‘Barbarella’s’ is a tongue-in-cheek tribute to their most-played local venue.

Versions of The Modern Lovers’ She Cracked and the Prefects’ original 625 Lines were recorded live by Virgin on the final two nights of Manchester’s Electric Circus and later issued as a compilation with tracks by The Fall, The Buzzcocks, Joy Division and others. The Prefects refused release of their material, believing their first outing should be a studio recording, not a live track or two on a compilation.

During the White Riot tour, members of Subway Sect, The Slits and The Prefects joined in on a live encore loosely based on Velvet Underground’s Sister Ray. Incredibly difficult to listen to, the song was bootlegged widely before eventually appearing on The Slits’ 1980 album of early demos in a 5’20” version called “No More Rock And Roll For You”. Twenty years later, Vic Godard of Subway Sect edited a minute from the recording and released it on his Twenty Odd Years compilation. Two decades later, The Prefects have edited more than a minute from it and retitled it White Riot Tour. In another twenty years, it is hoped that the prolonged rite of ritual shortening of this song will leave no trace of it at all. For the record, it’s Robert Lloyd going “wooo-ooo” in the background, in what he says was an attempt to mimic the organ part from Sister Ray, which, listeners may note, is no longer being played.

This is the opening salvo in the telling of Robert Lloyd’s career, which will include King Rocker: A film about Robert Lloyd & The Nightingales, by comedian and writer Stewart Lee, director Michael Cumming and Fire Films’ James Nicholls.

‘Going Through The Motions’ will be available on vinyl via new label Call Of The Void on 29th November 2019.

Taken from the album, Songs of Consumption, out 15th Nov. Pre-order here - https://orcd.co/toysongsofconsumption 

Fun City (M. Almond, D. Ball. Published by Metropolis / Warner Bros. Music Ltd)
_______________________________
TOY, who released Happy In The Hollow, their fourth, and by far most acclaimed album to date, in January of this year on Tough Love Records, have announced details of Songs Of Consumption, an 8-song collection of unique interpretations of tracks which have inspired the band.

Talking about the album, TOY said:

"Songs of Consumption sonically is a continuation and development of the themes conceived on Happy In The Hollow and it will show people where we are going towards musically. The DIY approach was explored further utilising more of the electronic elements that we touched upon before. Drum machines, stripped down arrangements and rudimentary production give a primitive sound that we thought suited the choice of songs. Some of the songs have very big sounding production, so we wanted to experiment with them by going in a different direction.

Music is consumed voraciously now whereas these songs came from a time when the song was of the most important thing and that's what was appreciated. Stripping them back to the essence of what they are was also something we wanted to explore. Also, we wanted to make a covers record with songs by people that influenced us in the past few years and it’s as much about the way they dealt with their ideas, and how they put themselves in uncomfortable situations in order to make something that in the end is simple. It’s a homage to the spirit of these people, that helped us to untangle ourselves from our inherent complicated nature and create a new space where we can exist."

Additionally, having played a sold-out tour of the UK in February, including a mesmerising show at Village Underground in London, the band have announced a couple of very special shows at the end of the year.

Playing under the banner of ‘Hollowed Out – A night of strange sighting and unhabitual ritual’ the shows will see them re-imagining songs from Happy In The Hollow. In London they will be joined by AV artist Sculpture, live performances from The Thelma Death Stare and Ducasse, DJ sets from Cherrystones and Sheet Noise and live visuals from Daisy Dickinson. In Manchester they will be joined by Mutabase and a DJ set from Sofie K.

The dates are as follows:
09.11.19 – Band on the Wall - Manchester
15.11.19 – Studio 9294 - London
