Filth by Pop Threat

Artist Biography For Pop Threat

In An Era Dominated By Bland Mainstream Bands Such As The Stereophonics Catatonia And Travis Pop Threat Were Almost Completely Ignored. There Was No Room For A Surly Female Fronted Band Who Came Across As Constantly Miserable Cynical Unfriendly And Who Walked Out Onstage And Delivered Their Music One Sonic Blast After The Other With No Attempt To Communicate With The Audience And With As Little Space Between Songs As Possible.
Before The Blanche Hudson Weekend Before The Manhattan Love Suicides - There Was Pop Threat. Featuring Caroline And Darren From Those Aforementioned Bands On Vocals And Guitar Respectively Along With Juliet Bass Mick Drums And For A Brief Amount Of Time In The Early Days Rob Guitar . Pop Threat Only Lasted 4 Years And In That Time Only Recorded A Relatively Small Amount Of Material The Majority Of Which Is Gathered Here Released A Handful Of Singles And One Album Which Came Out After The Band Split In February 2003 And Played Sporadic Gigs All Over The UK Before Eventually Imploding On Stage At The Moles Club In Bath Ask Anyone Who Was There That Night And They'll Tell You It Was A Perfect Rock N' Roll Mess Of Feedback Tensions Frustrations And General Drunken Behaviour But For Anyone Who Paid Attention To This Band While They Existed They Will Testify That Pop Threat Were One Of The Loudest Most Ramshackle Brilliant Live Bands Operating In A Music World Mostly Full Of Blandness. Heavily Influenced By Bands Such As The Jesus And Mary Chain The Raincoats Swell Maps Sonic Youth The Fire Engines And The Velvet Underground Pop Threat Combined A Love Of Pop Melody With Experimental Elements And More Often Than Not Just Pure Balls To The Wall Noise Assaults.
