Label Releases 2023

Birrell or Biscuit's debut 6 track EP release! This will comprise songs that have not been released yet from Craig's solo recording days, before the new full band line up move onto new material.

​

Check out the as always great and in depth review below from thesongbirdhq.com.

​

The EP consists of 6 tracks of psych punk mayhem!

​

Title track ‘Music To Watch Lavalamps’ is the perfect opener, a proper jam in the mould of Oasis’s ‘Fuckin’ In The Bushes’

 

‘Double Decker Bus’ may well be the first time I’ve ever heard the store manager of Morrison’s introduce a song and then go on to narrate, over the top of a proper punk banger, about re-training as a s driver!

​

While ‘Boy Band’ is the antithesis of anything Five ever produced, with some hilarious subject matter lamenting the fact his Casio keyboard is in need of some new AA batteries!

​

‘Silly Billy’ is probably the catchiest track on the EP, it has the hooks, melodies, punk guitars and a false ending. 

​

Whereas ‘Hey You’ gives off some Happy Mondays vibes, it might well be my favourite track here, it stomps along with a swagger, every instrument used seems to get it’s space to shine.

​

Final track ‘Eye For An Eye’ is the most clear vocally with a catchy bassline and psychedelic guitars.

​

You might need a few listens to get your head round these songs, as ever with Birrell Or Biscuit, there’s a lot going on but with every listen you’ll find different parts, it’s like a psychedelic punk jigsaw, stick with it and you’ll be so satisfied when you solve the puzzle.

​

‘Music To Watch Lavalamps’ joins an impressive back catalogue since 2021’s ‘Top Of The Pops’ and there’s plenty more to come with the full band set-up.

​

Stay tuned for more material later in the year!
