SCHOOL DISCO - Head's Still Here LP (colour vinyl)

Limited edition of 125 copies on "Poison Pill" colour vinyl.

Inner sleeve with lyrics.

Highly recommended.

School Disco are a young band hailing from Brighton, formed in 2016 and producing a nice blend of psych rock, indie rock, pop, post-punk and hard rock, pretty much on a DIY basis.

"Tunefully psychedelic, in a very late 60’s style – not just early Floyd but also early Sabbath, very early Purple, the list could be very long, and that’s before you think about more contemporary stuff. The band has clearly been influenced by a wide variety of garage rock, electronica, Krautrock, Stoner rock, Psych, Pop, and much more. Each of the nine tracks varies from its predecessor, with plenty of quirky twists and turns along the way, so the interest never wavers!

The album opens with Poison, a whopping dollop of sludge rock akin to Hawkwind, Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, or Ruff Majik. It’s got a lovely booming, hollow sound-mix, especially on the bass-line. A fuzzed out riff forms the meat of the track. The recently released single Echoes then follows, reflecting on how sounds heard at night can seem louder and larger than they are. It features twin vocals from singer Rory, accompanied by old mate Elliot Stanford, to give a sense of early Pink Floydian psychedelia – think ‘Arnold Layne’ or, even more so, ‘Echoes’ itself (geddit?). Touches of riffs from Sabbath, Hawkwind, and Tame Impala also add to the fuzzy image." - Velvet Thunder
