They might look like four guys who love nothing more than popping round to their Mum’s house for a roast dinner every Sunday but Post War Years are a complex bunch. Initially from Leamington Spa – a quaint town in the middle of England that boasts, well, that’s it really – Simon, Henry, Tom and Fred now inhabit a Russian Social Club-cum-hairdressers in the east end of London. From within its four walls – assuming, of course, that it’s structurally sound – the band make music that’s powered by “ambience and harmonised bass guitars” and topped off with the occasional “6-string”. Let’s not forget the beat either, which is the central foundation to any Post War Years song. – Gigwise

Release Date: March 9th 2009 (Chess Club)

Post War Years to release their second EP ‘Whole World On Its Head’! 

‘Whole World On Its Head’, the electro art- pop follow up to first single ‘Black Morning’ will hit you with its hooky and quirky funkiness on March 9^th. Catch the band live in February/ March!  

Introduced in 2008 with their debut release ‘Black Morning’ EP on Chess Club (three songs that were described by BBC 6 as “A fizzing bombastic attack on the senses, with more bright ideas than most bands manage in a lifetime”), Post War Years release their new single ‘Whole World On Its Head‘ on March 9th backed by ‘Flames Like Tinder’.

Their danceable, other-worldly synth-beat driven sound as been celebrated in clubs and basements up and down the country honing their unquestionably skilful musicianship on the live scene.

Towards the end of 2008 they took a break from recording their debut album and headed out on tour with one of this years biggest tips – White Lies.

2009 sees them support this single with a UK tour from late February through to release with some dates being a rotating headline with James Yuill and Wave Machines.

The single will be followed by a live 4 track EP on Zarcorp – Late of the Pier ‘s imprint label in April and in late spring, the album, produced by the band and  with additional production and mixing by Graeme Stewart (Dirty Pretty Things, Radiohead, Ash, Jonny Greenwood).
