Beaver Patrol
"Beaver Patrol" is a single released by the band Pop Will Eat Itself in 1987. It appears on the album Box Frenzy in a slightly edited version. The song was originally recorded by the sixties band The Wilde Knights. Beaver Patrol is the point where Pop Will Eat Itself's musical style drastically changed with the loss of live drums due to Graham converting to lead vocals. Beaver Patrol is far more electronic than anything previously released by the band, with a drum machine replacing the live drumkit and the prominent use of various vocal samples. This new style would persist for the next six years, until the introduction of a new live drummer, Fuzz Townshend. The b-side of the 7" version, Bubbles – as well as the other b-sides found on the 12" version – still retains the guitar-driven, live drumming grebo (music), grebo style of PWEI's early releases. All three of these tracks are also on the compilation Now For A Feast!. The music video recorded for the song features the ban ...

Pop Will Eat Itself
Pop Will Eat Itself are an English alternative rock band formed in 1986 in Stourbridge in the West Midlands of England with members from Birmingham, Coventry and the Black Country. Initially known as a grebo act, they changed style to incorporate sample-driven indie and industrial rock. Graham Crabb describes their sound as "electronic, punk, alternative hip-hop, hybrid music for fucking, fighting & smoking cigars". Their highest- charting single was the 1993 top-ten hit "Get the Girl! Kill the Baddies!". After initially disbanding in 1996, and having a brief reformation in 2005, they issued their first release in more than five years in 2010. Career Early years: 1981–1988 An early permutation of the band formed in 1981 under the name From Eden. Members included Clint Mansell, Adam Mole, Chris Fradgley, Malcolm Treece and Miles Hunt (Treece and Hunt went on to form The Wonder Stuff).

Box Frenzy
''Box Frenzy'' is the debut studio album by English rock band Pop Will Eat Itself. It was released on 26 October 1987 in the United Kingdom by Chapter 22 Records and in the United States by Rough Trade Records. At the end of 1987, the ''NME'' ranked the album at number 49 in their list of the top 50 "Albums of the Year". '' Q'' also included it in their unordered list of the year's 50 best albums. In 2005, '' The Word'' included the album in the second part of its list "Hidden Treasure: Great Underrated Albums of Our Time."

Their better-known track "Hit the Hi-Tech Groove" not only samples the techno-disco song " Respectable" by Mel & Kim, as well as the Whistle song "Just Buggin'", but defiantly boasts that the band steals (though they actually sample) as many varieties of sounds that they can get to ...

Love Missile F1-11 (Pop Will Eat Itself Song)
"Love Missile F1-11" is the debut single by British band Sigue Sigue Sputnik, released in 1986 from their debut album '' Flaunt It''. It was the band's biggest hit, reaching number three on the UK Singles Chart. The track was produced by Giorgio Moroder, after Prince rejected a request to oversee production, complaining the track was "too violent." The band approached Moroder due to his work on a number of Hollywood film scores, as well as his early Donna Summer records, with the latter inspiring the band's trademark repetitive, synthetic bass sound. Style The song features vocals with high echo and uses multiple sound effects to create a futuristic atmosphere. The 'Ultraviolence Mix' begins with a sample from Stanley Kubrick's 1971 film ''A Clockwork Orange'' where Malcolm McDowell's character, Alex Alex is a given name. It can refer to a shortened version of Alexander, Alexandra, Alexis. People Multiple *Alex Brown (other), multiple people * Alex Gordon (disambi ...

There Is No Love Between Us Anymore
"There Is No Love Between Us Anymore" is a song by Pop Will Eat Itself released on 7" and 12" vinyl in 1988, as the second single from the 1987 album ''Box Frenzy''. An eight-track CD version featuring a small collection of non-album tracks was released in 1991. It is a mainly instrumental track, and the only lyrics that are not sampled are the title of the song. It samples the songs "When I Fall in Love" by Nat King Cole and "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" by the Righteous Brothers. A sample of Joanna Lumley saying "he loves me, he loves me not" from '' The New Avengers'' is prominent throughout the song, and the line would be revisited in Pop Will Eat Itself's 1989 song "Wise Up! Sucker." The versions found on the single are all different to the album version, but the 7" version that appears on the CD single is the same as the album version but with an added intro sampling Nat King Cole's "When I Fall in Love." The Specially Extended Dance Mix is remixed by UK producer Robert ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Wilde Knights
The Wilde Knights were an American garage rock band from Longview, Washington, who were active in the 1960s. They emerged from a group known as the Furys and later the Pipers VI, who recorded several frat rock records. After becoming the Wilde Knights, they wrote and recorded two songs in 1965 which were both released as singles that year and are now recognized as garage rock classics, "Beaver Patrol" and " Just Like Me", the latter of which later provided a huge hit for Paul Revere & the Raiders. In the late 1960s they evolved into Genesis (not to be confused with the British progressive rock band), the King Biscuit Entertainers, and American Cheese, and issued records under those various names. History The Wilde Knights hailed from Longview, Washington and formed out of a previous group, known at different times as the Furys and Pipers VI, whose last remnants included bassist Rick Dey, who was born in Cromer, Norfolk, England, but whose family moved to the United States in ...

Grebo (music)
Grebo (or grebo rock) was a short-lived subgenre of alternative rock that incorporated influences from punk rock, electronic dance music, hip hop and psychedelia. The scene occupied the period in the late 1980s and early 1990s in the United Kingdom before the popularisation of Britpop and grunge. The genre and its attributes were largely absorbed into industrial rock, which would emerge after the sub-genre's demise in the late 1980s, which then led to the development of industrial metal in the 1990s. History and etymology The word ''grebo'' was originally used as a slang term for bikers and rock music fans with long hair. The word was re-fashioned by the group Pop Will Eat Itself that represented a brand of United Kingdom subculture of the late 1980s and early 1990s, largely based in the English Midlands.Vladimir Bogdanov (editor), ''All Music Guide to Electronica: The Definitive Guide To Electronic Music'', page 404 (Backbeat Books, 2001). .
