classic fizzing punk-pop with smart, witty lyrics from newcastle's anarchist indiepoppers. a potent mixture of fizzing pop tunes, punk attitude and protest folk have made milky wimpshake one of the uk's best loved indiepop bands. they've released numerous singles and compilation tracks on assorted indie labels, along with three albums, 1998's 'bus route to your heart' released on singer pete dales's own legendary slampt label, 2001's 'clovers, not fighters', issued on the ultra-hip troubleman unlimited label (erase errata, rogers sisters) in the states, and 2005's 'popshaped', the latter two both on fortuna pop! in the uk and europe. for many milky wimpshake are the spiritual godfathers of the now-thriving north-east music scene, and as berlord of the slampt label pete was responsible for launching a hundred fanzines and as many bands, kenickie included. in the last couple of years the band have headlined both indietracks festival and london popfest. obvious pop hits include previous single 'one good use for my heart', a heartfelt ode to remaining in love; the insanely catchy 'cherry pop'; and a duet with amelia fletcher (talulah gosh, heavenly, tender trap) on 'eyeball to eyeball'. and if there are less politics on this album than previous efforts pete gives it both barrels on 'murder in london'.
