'Bus Stop Apocalypse' was simultaneously released on the last day of 2011 and the first day of 2012 in a cynical attempt to win 'Album of the Year' Two years running. This attempt failed . But many people did seem to enjoy it. Highlights from the album include songs such as 'Overheard in the Westend' which spawned a Facebook page and a monthly event that ultimately became more famous than the band themselves and 'The Giros' - The bands oldest song that still makes a live appearance to this very day
Both albums come with uncut, uncensored sleeve notes which should have remained banished to yesteryear
Includes unlimited streaming of Social Not Working + Bus Stop Apocalypse
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
