Album Description

First ever anthology of the late 80's forerunners to Teenage Fanclub & the Soup Dragons. UK 23-track CD album compiled by BMX Bandits Douglas Bandit and Francis McDonald brings together their best loved tracks from the two albums they recorded for Creation Records: Gettin' Dirty (1995) and Theme Park (1996). Picture booklet with extensive sleeve notes written by the band and featuring photos from the period is included. Castle Music. 2005.

Album Details

Compiled and Annotated by Both Bmx Bandits', Duglas Bandit and Francis Mcdonald, this Collection is the First to Cherrypick from the Bands' Two Albums They Recorded for the Creation Records Label, "Gettin' Dirty" (1995) and "Theme Park" (1996). Never a Band to Stick to the Programme, a Typical Bmx Bandits Release Would Take the Listener Through a Myriad of Styles and Musical Experimentation. In-keeping with this Ethos, Tracks Like 'girl Next Door' with Its Power Pop Leanings Are Nestled Side-by-side with the Giddiness of 'i Wanna Fall in Love'. Tittle Track, 'serious Drugs' is the Track that Brought the Band Into the Public Consciousness, However, and Its Place as Album Opener Sets the Trend Nicely for the Musical Discovery that Follows.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Bandits are GO!.......2005-09-29

BMX Bandits are one of the most important and underrated indie pop acts of the last 20 years. Ex-members have went on to success with Teenage Fanclub, The Soup Dragons, Future Pilot and Belle & Sebastian. This collection features a selection of the band's work while on Creation records (home of Oasis, Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine). The 24 tracks selected by core members Duglas T Stewart an Francis Macdonald range from the power pop of Little Hands and Scar, to Little Pony and Little River of Spring sounding like wonderful outtakes from Brian Wilson's SMILE, to country rock Hello Again and sentimental well crafted Brill Building styled tune-smithery of Come Out of The Shadows. If all this isn't enough to persuade you to purchase a copy then the opening title track Serious Drug would justify your spend on its own. Serious Drugs is harmony soaked heart breaking classic pop and it seems to me to have influenced a whole generation of UK and American indie pop that followed it.
