"The quality of the ideas is more important than any kind of dogma”
SUN 13 TALK TO REPO MAN ABOUT 'ME POP NOW'
sun-13.com/2023/07/25/repo-man-interview-the-quality-of-the-ideas-is-more-important-than-any-kind-of-dogma/

“Me Pop Now is without question the most outré album I’ve had the joy of running into in a while, happily reminding me of the most mental shit of the 90s. [….] Repo Man capture that whole off-the-wall musical experience, the likes of which I haven’t had since listening to John Peel in the early 90s.“

"an album of impenetrable strength"
- Ryan Walker, Louder Than War

"At 52 minutes, this is a fairly long album—the fourth by REPO MAN, from Bristol—and most of its songs have a lot going on within them, but all things considered it flies by, and is decidedly further into the realms of jazz-lovin’ ’80s post-punk than organ-strokin’ prog noodle. Bojak, the band’s main vocalist, is a bug-eyed ranter on his own trip, and also contributes a healthy portion of sax and clarinet skronk; the guitarists and rhythm section can work with sinewy post-hardcore riffs or tricksier, scratchier arrangements. “Sirhan Sirhan” could be the work of one of those early ’90s Scottish bands like DOG FACED HERMANS, which is a huge plus, while at other times I got the scent of the NIGHTINGALES via the slanted energy, SWEEP THE LEG JOHNNY via the expansive rocking, and ENABLERS via the literary worldbuilding."
- Noel Gardner, Maximum RocknRoll

Repo Man emerged in Bristol in 2011, reshaping 'rock groop' sturm-und-clang into subnormal forms, son-of-Oldham vocal slurries, oozing free sax splatter and shards of punishing guitar bliss. If you ever freaked to The Fall, Sonic Youth, Swans or Ornette Coleman then Repo Man may be your ticket to oblivion.

Me Pop Now is the new Repo Man album and represents their fourth long-playing excursion into the realms of the caustically weird.
Me Pop Now is the first Repo Man album to feature the rhythmical reverberations and string slingin' of Aron Ward (Olanza / Harpoon) and drumsmith Simon Mawson (Action Beat). It was recorded in June of ’22 at Giant Wafer studio in Wales with Wayne Adams (Bear Bites Horse) with steamin' interludes sweated out at Aron's over a crazed weekend later that summer.

Me Pop Now sonically slams through the sprechgesang dullard hordes like a wrecking ball. Punctuated by electronic spasms and a box-jacket aesthetic, this latest emissary from the jumbled brains of Bristol's bozo intellectuals will fire your synapses like a Ci and Jak poured deep n' long. The tracks come thick n' fast, time bomb ticking and finger clickin' for diverse attention spans, a platter loaded with meaty beaty juices for the dry age.

What is Me Pop Now? A continuum of descendants of the Ig? A comment on the self fixated modern malaise/ discombobulation of individuality? A nifty film quotation? A trip into the commercially viable? All of the above and more?
