TRACKLISTING
The People Versus Michael Miller The A Minor Pentatonic Scale Endless Deodorant and Bad Shoes I Don't Need You Honey! All I Need Is Rock 'n' Roll! A Popular Music Composition It's Not Credible To Be So Intelligible Lowest Prices In Europe! Guaranteed! I May Not Be Jimi Hendrix But At Least I'm Still Alive

Playing unapologetically scuzzy, no-frills lo-fi punk rock, Birmingham three piece Untitled Music Project are a band who with their debut record, the self titled UNTITLED MUSIC PROJECT seem to have their dials set permanently to eleven.
With eight tracks that rarely top the two and half minute mark, Untitled Music Project seemingly have their hearts and influences in the old school punk scene, the songs here reminiscent of those early Minor Threat 7 inches back in the mid eighties. THE PEOPLE VERSUS MICHAEL MILLER and THE A MINOR PENTATONIC SCALE, are seething, sneering eruptions of rumbling bass and snappy guitar riffs; snarling vocal howls exploding over the top like Johnny Rotten wrestling Ian Mackaye. Certainly, a band for whom attitude, energy and volume are higher concerns that melody and radio friendliness, Untitled Music Project make a raging noise here that comes over like an angrier take on Art Brut, lo-fi indie rock with a serious attitude problem. LOWEST PRICES IN EUROPE! GUARANTEED is a two minute lesson in snarling punk rock energy whilst closer I MAY NOT BE JIMI HENDRIX BUT AT LEAST I'M STILL ALIVE is a suitably, noisy, sneering affair.
Resolutely no-frills punk rock that practically rips its way kicking and screaming from your speakers in a hail of distortion and fuzz, UNTITLED MUSIC PROJECT may not be pretty, but is a record that rocks harder than almost anything else you'll hear all year.

BIOGRAPHY
Gathering a throng of supporters from all sides of the musical spectrum, Birmingham-based Untitled Musical Project have come a long way since they began gigging in London last year. The fresh-faced threesome bring you punk in its original, snotty form, smartened up and spat back into your grotty parents' faces. "You want noise? Energy? Electricity? Untitled Musical Project are almost without doubt the most exciting live prospect in the country right now, and have them all in abundance." (Artrocker)
Yes, this winter is proving to be a very busy and exciting time for Tigertrap. Our newest signings, Untitled Musical Project, have been holed up in London Bridge with producer Dan Swift (Art Brut, Mclusky, Ikara Colt) putting the finishing touches to their superbly scabrous debut album.
