Like a gang of sci-fi droogs running amok with a wrecking ball to pop culture, Pop Will Eat Itself are a band that certainly lives up to its name. Formed in the mid-eighties Midlands, they are still not only eating pop but spewing it up in a chaos of thrilling ideas on their new album ‘Delete Everything’. The album is available to pre-order now on CD Bookpack, Black, Deluxe & Super Deluxe Splatter Vinyl.
Pop Will Eat Itself were never operating under anyone’s rules and their music, to this day, sounds like the future now soundtrack for a Bladerunner world. It also sounds like the maddest night out that never ends with the band running around like a punk gang whilst gate crashing a mad rave in a field somewhere in the Midlands.
Their eighth album sees them further refine, define and deconstruct their melange of industrial rock, loop da loop techno, gonzoid hip hop and punk rock into a series of captivating sci-fi anthems. Delete Everything refers to how every fact can be twisted in 2025, where in the digital blur of the now, it’s become impossible to know the truth from the fake. In these confused times, stories crash and burn, 15 minutes of fame is now 15 seconds of fame and being cancelled is an occupational hazard.
Still creative, still in a world of their own Pop Will Eat Itself have deleted everything and started all over again.
Renowned for their frenzied live shows, full of energy, inflamed with incendiary passion and sonic noise pollution and after a hugely successful run of shows in autumn of last year, the band return with some more dates in May, see below..
