Phoenix FM interview with Public Service Broadcasting (Paul, 18-11-2013)
Public Service Broadcasting have been favourites on the Phoenix FM playlists for more than a year now. After a series of single and EP releases in 2012, the duo of Wrigglesworth (drums) and J Willgoose, Esq (everything else) released their debut album in May of this year to great critical acclaim as well as a top 21 placing in the UK album charts.
If you haven’t come across them before, the most accurate way to describe them would be a cross between Jean-Michel Jarre, Pathe News and Deliverance.
I spoke to them before their sold-out gig at the Junction in Cambridge about the three Fs – frisbees, fisticuffs and Friesland’s famous skating tournament.
I had the added bonus of watching a great gig afterwards – the songs have an added urgency when played live, the visuals were fantastic, and while I heeded their advice to be aware of the dangerous Wafty Mobile Phone Camera Video Disorder during the gig, I understand that the live show might have looked something like this.
You can keep abreast of what the band are up to by keeping an eye on their official website, Facebook or Twitter.
