about

Cracking debut from our latest signing at Metal Postcard

We say

They carry the DNA of one of our favourite albums of all time, Sandanista.

They say they've never ever listened to the album.

All the better, we say


They say

The Postmen formed in Tom’s Famous Basement one Friday evening, having just watched Tati’s Jour de Fete, & decided then & there to mix Woody Guthrie with The Pixies, Half man Half Biscuit with Arthur Askey, & favela inspired Sambas with council estate choruses.

First class, top tunes, delivered straight from The Postmen’s vernacular sorting office in Darktown… la lutte continue…


KANE & ABEL (P. LLOYD) 2:42
The old story of greed, ambition and familiarity breeding contempt in business and family life, all at biblical proportions. Grease that pole, climb that ladder and get ready to stomp on those dirty clutching fingers!

COME WHAT MAY (J. HANNAH) 2:35
Devil may care, throwing caution to the wind, taking it as it comes, but through the magic Postmen's crystal ball…

JUSTIFIED (P. LLOYD) 2:50
Have you ever had one of those friends that got stuck in the past and just can't move on? This is a song about them. It’s a shake of the shoulders and a push in the back to help wake them up and move forward with their lives. Play it to them loud and see if you can wake them out of their negative slumbers.

ONE WAY TOWN (J. HANNAH) 3:14
A journey through the highs & lows of lockdown life… with more than a nod to Auld Reekie pop punksters of yesteryear, The Alvy Singers…



REVIEW


The debut release on Metal Postcard Records by The Postmen and do they deliver i hear you ask and if they do deliver is it worth be delivered well the answer my dear friends , well yes it is indeed ,what they deliver are four slices of pre-punk 70’s joyful rock n roll and guitar pop ,the kind of thing Chinn and Chapman used to pass onto the likes of Mud and The Arrows , or even the new wave pop frenzy of Yellow Dog and yes it has the nostalgic spirit of 1978 running throughout and that cannot be bad thing believe me .
