The last twelve months have seen Working Men’s Club touring with Fat White Family and signing to Heavenly. In 2020, they are lining up a big tour and a glorious night at London’s iconic 100 Club with The Murder Capital and Odd Morris.
We take a look at two of their best tracks to date:
Teeth
If Pil were teenagers, this is the hook laden solitude they’d be supplying in 2020. A sense that, everything is fucked, infiltrate the apocalyptic landscapes they conjure. This is the sound of the The Fall, Underworld and Egyptian Blue colliding in a moment of punk protest and guitar music heaven.
Bad Blood
The Streets and Depeche Mode riffs with Jonathon Richman via Mad Max vocals. This is the new sound of house parties. The Jamie T solo is uniting but edgy, a spiky piece of alternative music gold.
This feels like the sweet spot of alternative culture. Dangling the toe into the mainstream and landing the big fish time and time again. Whilst, all the while luring the entrenched indie musos away from their chin stroking to join something truly engaging.
