“The Room may have sprung from the time of Josef K, The Fall and Magazine but they fit right in with bands like Home Counties and The Cool Greenhouse. The mix of the tuneful with the dissonant, the coolly delivered lyrics and the impeccable production” - Joyzine

The Room, returned in 2023. Original members Clive Thomas, Dave Jackson and Becky Stringer are joined by new bloods, Ethan Kyme and Darren Brown. They have since released two albums, Restless Fate (2023) and The Telling (2024) on 9x9 Records.

Album opener, Drill, Baby, Drill is a response to the orange-pig-who-would-be-king and his enablers. Nine new dark-tinged pop songs, plus a re-recorded version of their 80s John Peel favourite, Things Have Learnt to Walk that Ought to Crawl. Pressed on eco-vinyl giving each copy of the LP a random colour mix.

"Bunnymen/Teardrops – adjacent 80s Liverpool psychedelic survivors return in dishevelled majesty” - Stewart Lee
