Gang of Three

Scuzzy 21st century post-punks, these Londoners are destined for fame. Creating a raw, energetic, screeching belch of guitars, oily drum beats and a cloud of dusty bass lines, Not Cool take cues from the likes of Gang of Four, Pavement and Dinosaur Jr. Not since the Arctic Monkeys’ debut record has a British band displayed the charisma and shimmering dissidence needed to charm the ageing ’80s post-punk generation. They’ve self-branded their music as ‘gutter pop’ to appeal to Generation Y, but Generation X is where these guys truly belong.

They only formed in 2008 and are slowly gathering momentum to crash the British indie scene. Their first release, out now, is a limited edition (200 copies) 7″ vinyl containing their debut single ‘Wonderful Beasts’. It’s backed by a double b-side, with the tracks ‘The Bell Curve’ and ‘Um, You Didn’t Do That In Soundcheck’. It is also the first release for Sleep All Day Records.
