About this item

The Common Cold's debut album is titled "Shut Up! Yo Liberals!" is released on legendary Preston label Action Records (who released albums by The Fall, The Boo Radleys, and Dandelion Adventure) It's a stunning debut that sees the band drink from the same magick musical fountain as The Fall, Kaleidoscope, Neu!, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and yet retain their own style.

Formed by Ajay Saggar and Mark Wareing (who were members of John Peel favourites "Dandelion Adventure"), the band features a double drummer attack (the recording features former members of Cornershop and The Fall), who propel the songs forwards with a crisp crunch, but giving enough space to the heavy melodies that spin in your head all day long. The lyrics are intelligent, funny and acerbic and take the listener on a euphoric transcendental journey.
