WorldService Project new album For King and Country

With high anticipation for the release of WorldService Project’s third album For King and Country, we jumped at the chance to nab them for a gig. 12 Points Plus at MusicTown was the perfect opportunity. So what can we expect from their new material?

“Stompingly raw and punky...a riotously entertaining live-band...highly creative” - The Guardian

When WSP gave their vivacious performance at 12 Points 2012, the band were preparing for the release of their punchy second album Fire in a Petshop. Oscillating between the conventions of formal composition and outright grunginess, WSPs unique sense of humor is exceptionally portrayed in their second album, as is their highly creative straight face. Farmyard honkings combined with free-jazz melees, thrash chords and bebop to trad-jazz mixed with flatulent free trombone eruptions on another, the audience at 12 Points 2012 in Porto were enamored with this London based quintet. So what can we expect from their performance at Meeting House Square on the 13th of April?

“…a procession of odd-shaped things, tumbling out driven by heat… knows how to reinvigorate familiar chords”-The Telegraph

From what we’ve heard so far, you are in for a treat with this new material. This wild mix of Frank Zappa, Meshuggah, Stravinsky, Weather Report combined with a Monty Python element is soon to bedazzle you with more prog influence with even more of WSPs unique raw and punky bite we know and love.
