TV Smith is a British punk rock musician known for his energetic performances and critical lyrics. Born in 1956, he began his musical career as the frontman of the influential punk band The Adverts in the late 1970s. With hits like \"Gary Gilmore's Eyes\" and \"One Chord Wonders\" they quickly established themselves as an important voice in the punk rock scene. TV Smith's distinctive voice and captivating stage presence helped make the band a popular live act. After The Adverts disbanded in 1979, TV Smith embarked on a solo career and released his first solo album, Channel Five, in 1983. Since then, he has built an impressive discography that includes a variety of studio albums, live recordings and collaborations. Misinformation Overload is 12 songs, including Es Stört Mich Nicht, which is sung in German. Originally released in 2005 and recorded with the help of Die Toten Hosen drummer Vom Ritchie, it is more of a flawless punk rock album, which is very different from TV's otherwise quiet solo albums. Thanks to Last Exit Music, it is now being released on LP for the first time outside of Spain!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Last Exit","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50435009773899,"sku":"2198534","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_cf47ed6f_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726898445"},{"product_id":"last-ex","title":"Last Ex","description":"\u003cp\u003eNew instrumental rock project of Simon Trottier and Olivier Fairfield from Timber Timbre long active in Quebec's experimental\/punk scene. Also features Timber Timbre frontman Taylor Kirk; on tour with Timber Timbre in fall 2014.  When Timber Timbre's ambient music for a horror film went unused back in 2012, Trottier and Fairfield began revisiting the sound palette they had built up for the soundtrack at Trottier's studio in Hull, Quebec, expanding on their techniques and textures, adding drums, bass and various other instruments, and. The duo found that they had dug into some very fertile territory, writing additional songs throughout 2013 and bringing their obsessions with sound collage, tape-based music concrète and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop to bear on the cinematic lyricism of the initial widescreen guitar- and string-based material. Derived from the title of the abandoned film, Simon and Olivier dubbed their new project Last Ex. Constellation knew nothing of this back story when the label received the Last Ex demos in spring 2014; we just heard a compelling, compact, coherent, highly evocative instrumental album that kept worming its way into our ears. By the tenth time someone in the office said \"Let's play that Last Ex stuff again\" - and everyone enthusiastically agreed - it was time to contact the band. This music belonged in the Constellation catalogue: an instrumental rock album of superb compositional and melodic sensibility, balancing minimalism and restraint with atmosphere and tone, bound by a refreshingly original approach to production. Last Ex makes ample use of the electric guitar as both lead instrument and textural sound source, structuring most of the pieces around deliberate melodic and contrapuntal deployments of Spaghetti Western twang, while distressing, degrading and redeploying those sonics through Fairfield's analog tape-based manipulations. Trottier takes on most of the guitar duties, with Timbre Timber's Taylor Kirk contributing on a couple of tunes as well. Tight bursts of trap set rhythms played by Fairfield, and usually captured with just a couple of microphones, along with consistently excellent basslines laid down by both Simon and Olivier, propel the album and make this anything but an ambient listen. Strings appear on several pieces, courtesy Mika Posen (also of Timber Timbre), in a wide range of textures and treatments. With its combination of assured lyricism, cinematic guitars, dusky analog atmospherics and taut percussion, this is a vivid, concise and expressive instrumental album that sits snugly between fellow label acts Do Make Say Think and Exhaust on the one hand, Hrsta, Tindersticks and Evangelista on the other. 180g LP audiophile pressing includes art print poster + download.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Constellation","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50492551299403,"sku":"380673","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/e29d74f1-71b7-4a1f-9b5e-fe35fb20fa7f_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727692533"},{"product_id":"me-punk-you-fuck","title":"Me Punk, You Fuck","description":"\u003cp\u003eSome of the award winning hits from the world`s greatest band ever!

During their initial active phase from 1976 to 1981, the band released four albums, including Alternative Chartbusters, which featured the hit Brickfield Nights. Due to increasing demand over the years, the band decided to come out of retirement in 1999 and have been playing concerts worldwide ever since. Their latest album, Punk Rock Menopause, was released in 2014. Power Cut was recorded in London in 1996. By chance, Campino, singer of the German rock band Die Toten Hosen, was in London at the same time and was spontaneously invited to the studio session. The result? He took over lead vocals on all tracks.
