Cool Dudes
Our friends at Cool Dudes Radio have included a new Bangers song on their latest podcast along with their other sexually frustrated ramblings, interesting facts, and Dave Straight fixation.
http://cooldudesradio.blogspot.co.uk/
The song’s called The Mitigation Committee from our new 7inch which will be up for pre-order soon.
Sam Russo thinks it’s a good one and kept singing bits of it on tour.
See you soon.

After a right rave up on homebrew the night before we played at Crocus’ daytime release show in Penzance. This is a new one from our new 7 inch, and there’s full sets from us, Monolithian, As We Sink and Crocus all filmed by CxTxVisual on Youtube.
Get loosey goose to this, clowns.
FULL SET; http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAD374FD16B101AE1
24hour-revengetherapy asked: Hey guys! Totally fucking dig your band, and so do my friends here in Canada. I'm just wondering if you'll ever sneak by and play some shows in North America, and what tuning you play in? Thanks!
Thanks, no plans to come back to north America at the moment sadly. Takes a lot of time and money, currently none of us have either. We play in standard tuning, tried tuning down a semi tone once but it sounded weird.
Printing some new shirts & sweatshirts of these 2 designs soon, if you want one head here and order it: http://shop.specialistsubjectrecords.co.uk
Will be printing and posting these out early Feb.

Due to letting myself get excited about Christmas in about November and listening to Christmas songs almost every day since I already kind of feel like Christmas is over, and as it’s too early to get out of bed and be bummed out about Christmas being over, I wanted to get pumped about the cool shit that Bangers are planning next year.
So firstly, Andrew came to stay for almost a week and we practised 4 new songs for a 7 inch that we’re planning to record in January/release by Easter.
Secondly, we’re touring the UK in February, for which a few dates have surfaced already and we’re going to some new places which should be really fun.
Thirdly, we’re going to tour Europe in Easter with (gush gush, he’s really swell) Sam Russo, and show him what it’s like to not be miserable and be plied with free beer by friendly Europeans.
Fourthly we should all be living in Exeter by the Summer.
Fifthly we’ll be squeezing in recording a split 7 inch with What-a-Night’s from Japan (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7f4YZLG3EA) which will get released as and when.
Sixthly I actually feel Christmassy as all shit. So Merry Christmas. Go and listen to Russo’s depressing Christmas song which whatever Daveinball says was written for me. And have a great few days.
Oh, and on the recommendation of my friend Steve Smith I watched that film Dig! about The Dandy Warhols vs The Brian Jonestown Massacre. It was cool and it’s on Youtube, so do that too.
And finally, anyone who wants a recipe for making a bucket of boozy ginger beer in just 5 days, e-mail me or something.
See you soon.

weekend oop north…
Having a little trip up to Scotland this weekend for Book Yer Ane Fest in Dundee, this is the furthest north we’ve ever played in the UK, and I’m pretty excited about it! It’s also nicely sandwiched between 2 shows with The Arteries, The Slow Death & Mikey Erg!
SATURDAY 3RD DECEMBER - KAGE NIGHTCLUB, DUNDEE with Leatherface, Antillectual, Departures, Kaddish….
