Raging out of London’s guerrilla gig scene that has spawned
The Libertines, Wolfman and The Others, Selfish C*nt
have emerged with a sound as original and shocking as their name.
First coming to prominence by chucking horseshit over Pete Doherty
outside Buckingham Palace, the duo are making a name for themselves
musically with provocative, stripped down singles “Britain
Is Shit/ Fuck The Poor” and “Authority Confrontation”
preceding landmark debut album “No Wicked Heart Shall Prosper”.
Despite being a guitar/drums duo, don’t expect to hear a
retro chart-friendly White Stripes sound. Selfish C*nt produce
a sound every bit as loud but you won’t hear these avant-punk
anthems on CD:UK. In fact, you won’t hear them in the many
UK venues that have, in their wisdom, banned their incendiary
live set. Ah yes, the Selfish C*nt live set has to be seen to
be believed, where these songs dealing with topics such as fascism
and gay-bashing are brought to life by frontman Martin Tomlinson’s
charismatic and visually shocking stage persona. Make your own
mind up and catch them live before they implode, explode or before
they have to knock your front door down to get a gig.
“Selfish C*nt are more heavy and intense than any fucking
37 Marshall stack BC Rich Warlock-playing longhairs who prop up
dying rock phenomena like the Download Festival or Ozzfest…
Wow, this is amazing. London's finally burning again. “
Andy Capper, NME
”… the harshest slab of rock and roll to be heard
this year, it melds malfunctioning drum machines to distorted
guitars that even Steve Albini would call too extreme, and manages
to sound like a strange mix of The Sex Pistols, The Pop Group
and Carter USM, and what’s even scarier is that it works…
Primal. Edgy. Dangerous. Selfish Cunt are all these things and
more” Alex Wisgard, Drowned in Sound
