October 22nd will see the release of a new single - and the first concept single! - by tipped Cardiff collective Los Campesinos!. Currently holed up in Trenton, on the outskirts of Toronto, recording and mixing their debut album, the new single 'The International Tweexcore Underground' inspired LC! to form a narrative package which can only be explained by the band themselves...

".the A-Side of this disc is the afore mentioned track, which, in short, is a story of a friendship of two opposites and how they are in the best band in the world, one embracing things that are, shall we say (and you would almost definitely say) 'twee' (yuck) and the other embracing music that is...not so.

This led us to the genius idea of creating a B-side for both of these people, and covering songs that each in turn would like by musicians that are name-checked in the song. You must understand that this is a decision based on art, and not on us being too rubbish to write our own B-sides. SO, now we have LC! playing the Amelia Fletcher/Calvin Johnson duet of Heavenly track 'C Is The Heavenly Option' and on the other hand LC! stick it to the man with our rendition of Black Flag's 'Police Story' . Pretty Rad huh?

And so, the concept single is born (yeh, it's ALL down to us) and a new
generation of Henry Rollins fans will want us killed. Sweet thing.

Love and punk,
Los Campesinos! x"

After releasing their first two (now totally sold out) limited singles earlier this year, embarking on a mini tour of the UK, spending a couple of crazy weeks on tour in the US where their 'Sticking Fingers Into Sockets EP' (released recently in the US-only on Arts and Crafts Records) has been creating huge commercial and critical waves, stopping by Lollapalooza for one of their first festival appearances, and performing at London's Scala . all before they'd even started work on their first LP.The seven-headed Los Campesinos! have already proved their mettle as a pop collective of huge potential (though they'd most likely hate to hear you say it). Their as yet untitled debut album will released in February 2008.

Los Campesinos! surface from their recording exile in October, where they will be welcomed with open arms back into the bosom of all things young, ace, and stage-bound, for their first proper tour of the UK as well as further European and US dates.
