"Lydia Lunch has collaborated with Terry Edwards, James Johnston and Ian White in a variety of musical guises for the last ten years. From Hangover Hotel and Smoke in the Shadows to the most recent multimedia performances of Real Pornography and The Ghosts of Spain, the three rabble rousers from Gallon Drunk have, in a series of ever morphing configurations, collaborated with Lydia in creating psycho-ambient soundscapes in the service of propelling forth spoken word exorcisms in her decades-long prophecies of societal collapse, moral bankruptcy, and global corruption."

Catalog #:	FIT 044CD

"Big Sexy Noise follow up their vinyl mini album, released earlier in 2009, with a full blown self-titled CD. The band, fronted by Lydia Lunch and Gallon Drunk alt-rockers James Johnston, Terry Edwards and Ian White, have recorded a further five Johnston/Lunch originals plus a Lynyrd Skynyrd cover to complement the original six tracks. Big Sexy Noise is the primeval bump, grind and holler of White's thuggish drums, Johnston's moronic low-tuned riffing and Edwards' brutal organ and sax interventions led by Lunch's take-no-prisoners vocals."

Title:	Clichés
Label:	SARTORIAL (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.50
Catalog #:	FIT 050CD

"Twelve covers in homage to Alex Chilton, from John Peel's signature tune to 'Lulu's Back in Town' via Bach & an unhinged version of James Brown's 'I'll Go Crazy' Terry Edwards, left-field session musician to the great & the good (including Robyn Hitchcock, Jerry Dammers, Siouxsie, The Duke Spirit and Madness - about whom he has also had a book published), releases his first full album of solo material for 5 years. Although he's well-known for cover versions, having previously released Jesus & Mary Chain songs as trumpet-led instrumentals, The Fall in a ska style and Miles Davis tunes as speed-metal snapshots, Clichés is something of a departure. The album is respectfully dedicated to Alex Chilton who recorded a covers album with the same title in 1993. Using Chilton's release as a blueprint, Edwards selected songs that had a personal resonance (e.g. John Peel's signature tune, 'Pickin' the Blues'), wallowed in the beauty of heartache ('You Won't See Me,' 'The Very Thought of You') or simply gave him a lust for life (the Mary Chain's 'I Love Rock & Roll')."
