Popical Island #3 compilation – Listen to Side B & gig stage times

Side A of Popical Island #3 appeared for your streaming pleasure on Monday. 48 hours is just enough time for you to fit in a big digestable listen so Side B is now ready for your indie-pop gluttonous ears and it relies more on distortion pedals, singalong choruses, broken drumsticks, bass and drums being best mates, in-band disagreements and agreements; and a big squeeze of lo-fi rock dynamics.

Tracks from No Monster Club, Skelecrats, Squarehead, The #1s, Lie Ins, Little xs for Eyes, Dott, Biggles Flies Again, Patrick Kelleher feature among others no less desirable to listen to. It’s 40 minutes of “this is fucking great”. Saviour it, for it’s the last compilation of its kind…

If the embed is down (we’re not sure why), listen to it here.
