Yes, Tinnitus

Emerging from the debris of mclusky [Jon Chapple], the haunts of various damp, dark basement clubs [Simon Jarvis] and the forging of drum power through 7 grades of piano teaching [Steve Morgan], Shooting at Unarmed Men bring you tunes you can whistle, dance or fight to, depending on your preference, consumption or IQ level.

And now a fitter, meaner, leaner Shooting at Unarmed Men release their first proper album, 'Yes! Tinnitus!' and it's a tight and hungry sound no doubt. There's no questioning the group have grown since their '05 mini-album 'There Will Be Shooting At Unarmed Men' and while they've added 'subtle' to their repertoire, they're still capable of being seriously musically brutal.

The group's influences? In their words… a variety of British garden birds that sing in their streets, the highly addictive and unhealthy past-time of smoking tobacco, driving our polluting and fuel consuming cars to and fro, seemingly without destination or purpose, in and around Britain [the least united of Kingdoms], drinking whiskey, working shit jobs for too little money and which hold no hope of future prospects. It doesn't get less complicated than that…

No half measures are being taken, what you hear is what the band want you to hear. 'Yes! Tinnitus!' is a marvel to behold and should help mclusky fans to finally put their ghost to rest 'cause there's a new cock of the roost…
