  • The City Consumes Us

    A 216 page paperback book documenting the history of the fanzine Rhubarb Bomb and its place within a wider DIY / zine landscape - including it's creation of Long Division Festival. Contains original articles and newly created material showing the progression of the bands in the city from 2007 - 2012 plus major events and live events. Includes interviews with Mark E Smith, David Gedge, Emma Pollock (The Delgados). Luke Haines, Malcolm Middleton and Russell Senior (Pulp)

    "I can see this book providing inspiration and even guidance not just for fanzine editors and writers working (for free!) in the cultural margins, but also musicians and other artists who have a song to sing or a tale to tell that doesn't chime with the commercial mainstream for years to come" - Vibrations Magazine.

    *Original copies of the book came with a CD compilation album. We no longer have the means to burn CDs, but purchase includes immediate download of the album.     ... more

about

This was originally recorded towards the end of 2007 whilst the band geared up for the launch of its debut single It’s Nice To Pretend. Never released, it is, rather coincidentally, a song about growing up and living in Wakefield. It was recorded by drummer Dan Hayes as he got to grips with home recording. He went back to it and polished it up best he could for inclusion on this compilation and some new vocals were added. The song is a fair representation of the kind of melodic alt-indie The Whippets were producing at this time, before their eventual split in 2008.
