about

We're proud to present session versions of all the Bordellos hits such as Piss on Spotify, Bring Me The Head of Justin Bieber, Did the Bastards at the BBC Kill John Peel and many more.

Most sessions were recorded for the Peel inspired Dandelion radio but there are also a couple of other oddities in there for you to marvel at as well.


REVIEW
I hate indie music and I hate guitar music but I love The Bordellos who make indie guitar music. I like them because I interviewed Brian Bordello in the zine a while back but that was only after I initially liked them and nobody can say that it wasn’t.

I like that they sound lo-fi and lazy but I also like them because the singing is brilliant, the lyrics are brilliant and the tunes are all brilliant. So I can’t help but like them despite my better judgement. A bit like Michael Bublé.

Sessions is a collection of some of their best songs and a good introduction, although the idea of collecting their best songs is ridiculous because they’ve got literally like 5,000 of them. There’s sixteen of them on here, with most being, “recorded for the Peel inspired Dandelion Radio but there are also a couple of other oddities in there for you to marvel at as well”.

It’s jangly, Scouse guitar-pop at its core, played by people who frankly sound like they’ve had-e-fucking-nough of doing music in general but will continue doing it anyway because they know that they’re better then practically everybody else doing it. Like, seriously, I’m not just saying it. I guarantee you there’s a song buried in The Bordellos catalogue that your favourite band would KILL SOMEBODY to write.

Speaking of killing, Did The Bastards At The BBC Kill John Peel is one of my favourites (“Dilute his memory with BBC6, celebrate his birthday playing Teenage Kicks”) and it’s included here, which is good as it sums up the indignant-yet-uninterested anger of the band perfectly.

There might be better ways to begin investigating the world of The Bordellos than this but it’s not important where you start off as long as you have. And, if you have, then you’ll know exactly why I think this new collection of their incisive, sweet, stupid, clever, naïve, funny, heartbreaking songs is – just like the rest of them – well worth anyone’s time or money.

WHAT THE WRITERS HAVE SAID ABOUT THE BORDELLOS


In a world of sequined, over produced mediocrity, The Bordellos represent the alternative world of anti-pop where passion and feeling count just as much as the words and music.
LOUDER THAN WAR

It's more unhinged and amelodic than Sister Ray or Sonic Youth, it's closer to The Smiths covering Merzbow
HEAD HERITAGE

John Peel would have loved The Bordellos. He would have loved their unwillingness to confirm, he would have loved their brutal honesty. He would possibly have repeat played them like ‘Teenage Kicks’
FORTITUDE MAGAZINE

In terms of 90% of what you’ve been listening to this month, however, it is as dissonant, dissolute, disreputable and demented as any disc you could ever hope to hear.
