Coceived as a sort of situationist prank by a group of Norfolk (UK), based misfits Scumbag Philospher are a nihilist-baiting mismatch of a crazed girl mauling her two drum kit, a grumbling, misanhropic, borderline aspergers front man and cascading, caterwauling guitars. They make an odd yet still strangely catchy kind of post punk racket - alienated, knowing and not afrai of wearing its smartness on its sleeve. Lyrical focus is on the absurdity of office life, celevrity and hipness. Signed to painfully-hip US label Words On Music, Scumbag Philosopher line up two releases later

in the year - the "God is Dead So I Listen to Radiohead" and the album "It Means Notjing So It Means Nothing". ETA for both slabs of angular yet wry alienation: autumn 2010
