Format: CD Condition: New Year of Release: 2006 Cat. No.: 070004 Label: Downtown Records
Exclusive U.S. pressing featuring four bonus tracks along with tracks that did not appear on the U.K. Fierce Panda pressing.
When Art Brut singer Eddie Argos decided to form a band, he quickly recruited Ian Catskilkin (Guitar) and Freddy Feedback (Bass), drummer Mikey B and Jasper Future (guitarist). Five minutes after this happened (it may have been slightly longer than that) they had written their debut single 'Formed A Band'. Blender Magazine called it a giddy instant classic.
By the end of the year the band's singles had found their way into many end of year polls, including NME, Playlouder, John Peel's Festive 50. 'Formed A Band' was even No 8 in Blender's Top 100 Tracks. Eddie Argos had made an unlikely entrant in NME's Cool List and the band were selling out venues the length and breadth of the country.
The formerly best unsigned band in the world (according to Blender) now looks forward to their U.S. release on Downtown Records.
