Satirical art-punk band LICE have announced ‘It All Worked Out Great,’ a two-part ‘early years’ collection re-recorded and to be released as two EP’s and as an LP collecting both together. In frontman Alastair Shuttleworth’s own words “it could not have been made by perfect people, and does not expect any to be listening.” You can pre-order the collection here.
Outside of their release of IDLES’ own Brutalism, LICE are the first signing to Joe Talbot’s Balley Records and further strengthens IDLES relationship with both LICE and what is becoming a burgeoning, powerful scene in their hometown of Bristol.
Joe says the following about LICE: “As we watch the world seemingly burn; solace is found in the boundless passions of our peers and the hard workings born from that. LICE are a force beyond the rabble. We are in love. Up the open-minded and up the open-hearted.”
