New Popguns in Our Sights

Matinée Recordings have been known to take a look back, but this time they have upped the ante. We have come to expect the excavation of historical artifacts from UK indie legends such as the Siddeleys, Brighter and Razorcuts, but now a favorite from our youth is recording brand-new material with the Santa Barbara, Calif.-based label. Now don't get me wrong, reissuing 'Eugenie' and 'Snog' would be wonderful, but after listening to the pop perfection of "Lovejunky," I think you'll agree having a new Popguns album is certain to be one of the highlights of 2014. For the time being, we'll just have to live with our 'Another Year Another Address' compilations from Cherry Red, but Matinée says "if all goes to plan the 7" will be in your hands before the end of the summer with a brand new album following a month later." I'm busting!
