SummersRadio™ Reissues + New Music! (preview) Pop Will Eat Itself!

SummersRadio™ Music News + New Music Preview! Pop Will Eat Itself - 'Wise Up! Sucker'/ 'Can You Dig It?' (12" Mix)/ 'Seek & Destroy' (snippet) England's cleverly titled Pop Will Eat Itself (a name they nicked from an NME article) look set to have a rather busy October! Three of their most popular albums are getting the deluxe reissue treatment - they're releasing their first new album in 17 years - and they're planning a U.K. tour!

Although largely a club/ underground phenomenon here in North America, PWEI had four albums and 12 singles reach the top 40 between 1989 and 1994 in the U.K.! Their sound incorporated a number of styles including garage rock, industrial, and sample heavy dance music.

On October 10th three of their finest albums will be reissued on cd on the Cherry Red label - digitally remastered and expanded to double cd sets - with bonus tracks and remixes galore! The bonus disc for their sophomore release 'This Is The Day... This Is The Hour... This Is This!' (my personal favorite) features nine tracks - two demos, three alternate versions and four 12" mixes. 1990's 'Cure For Sanity' features 13 tracks on the bonus disc - as does the bonus disc on 1992's 'The Looks Or The Lifestyle?'.

The bonus disc for 'This Is The Day... This Is The Hour... This Is This!' features the 12" remix from Youth of 'Wise Up! Sucker' - this is the original - the production on it still sounds amazing 23 years on... Enjoy!



'This Is The Day... This Is The Hour... This Is This!' featured samples from over a dozen different artists ranging from The Stooges and Bruce Springsteen to the Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, James Brown - and the Osmonds! This is another fine single from the album - 'Can You Dig It?'... Enjoy!



PWEI broke up in 1996 - reformed briefly for some shows in 2005 - and then were dormant until vocalist Graham Crabb announced his return with a new line up. 'New Noise Designed By A Sadist' is released on October 3rd on Cooking Vinyl in the U.K. and on Metropolis Records here. It will be their first new full length studio album since 1994 - and their sixth overall - although they've also released a remix album, various collections, and numerous live albums.

This is a preview of the first single from the forthcoming album - called 'Seek & Destroy'. Why didn't I lead off with the new track you may wonder - because this is only a snippet - and as I've stated before, snippets frustrate me! Regardless... Enjoy! :)
