TONGUE BUNDLE - Second Hand Banger TONGUE BUNDLE

LP - Limited Edition 'Black Tyre' Vinyl. Offers an overview of the band’s oeuvre, including live and previously unreleased tracks. Only 250 copies pressed in this edition. 

Titled Second-Hand Banger, this Tongue Bundle LP offers an overview of the experimental funk octet’s oeuvre, including live and previously unreleased tracks, and it's also their first time to put out a vinyl release. 

Choosing what went onto Second-Hand Banger was simplified by the fact that they weren’t aiming to pick what was recognisable or catchy. “None of them are hits. We all just chipped in on a group chat, and tried to cover all the bases, most of the different sides of our stuff” says band member Oli Ryan.

The physical album is styled around old cars, as referenced in the title, and each of the 250 copies will have artwork that is slightly different, Ryan says. “It’s all car tax related stuff, tax discs and a logbook for the tracks.”

Once it is out, the band is due to perform at a few festivals this year and the one after, he says. “But I’d like to do another release of new stuff next year. So I guess the idea with this is to use it as a sort of kick up the arse.”
