The People's Revolutionary Choir - Do You Feel Like I Do

London based Weekender Records is an offshoot of the Innsbruck based Weekender Club which was set up by an exile from the UK. The club has a Britpop/rock slant and this is evident on many of the label's releases which are of a trashy rock variety purveyed by the likes of The Rocks, The Dash and Kingsize. No matter how hard I try to get anything out of that sort of music something doesn't click with me.However it's not all bad news as there are some bands on the label that are worth checking out away from such rock tomfoolery. The Indelicates may be the one name you recognise but I prefer the luscious indie pop of The Hussys or the heavy sounding shoegaze of The Lea Shores.
The People's Revolutionary Choir lean towards the latter. Like it's predecessor The Breeze That Blows the new single Do You Feel Like I Do is a fine piece of shimmering psychedelic rock coming across like the Mary Chain's Jim Reid fronting Spacemen Three. Flip side Painkiller Blues slows things right down as per Jason Pierces finer moments with Spirtitualized and you could be in some kind of sonic wonderland. It's two excellent takes on a revitalised genre. If you like what Club AC30 or Sonic Cathedral do then this will be right up your street.
Both sides of the single can be currently streamed via My Space. The band play the rearranged Truck Festival on 22 September 2007. The single will be released on 8th October 2007 on Weekender Records.
