On gatefold sleeve, double colour vinyl or one shiny CD!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirty-three tracks! Rounding up all the band\u2019s 7\u201d single releases to date! That\u2019s all their A- and B-sides!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Includes two soon-to-be-released<\/strong> singles, one which will appear as a free 7\u201d with the next issue of SAFETY PIN MAGAZINE, and the other as a very limited-edition lathe cut 7\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To excite\/annoy completists,<\/strong> there will be a third (standard) 7\u201d released at the same time, featuring an A and B-side that don\u2019t appear here.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Cyanide Pills released their first 7\u201d single, Break It Up\u2019, in 2009, following it up with a further 14 fab 45s, the most recent being a split single with Switzerland\u2019s Nasty Rumours early last year. Most of these releases featured exclusive non-album B-sides, which we\u2019ve rounded up for Singled Out. Good to have them in one place, innit! All tracks were recorded at the Billiard Room in Leeds with producer Carl \u201cRazorblade\u201d Rosamond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInfluences? Hmm, well, we don\u2019t just listen to punk rock, neither did the early bands because there wasn\u2019t any,\u201d said lead singer Phil speaking with Vive le Rock magazine in 2023. \u201cWe like the usual suspects, obviously, our favourites are the Belgian band The Kids, X-Ray Spex and Buzzcocks. We like Satan\u2019s Rats, The Tours, Knots, The Fingers, Panic, Kleenex, Crime, The Terrorways, Victims, Wipers, The Briefs, The Spits, The Plugz, Bad Nerves, Nasty Rumours, stuff like that, loads of stuff, Syd Barrett, The Kinks, MC5, Stooges, Bowie, Ruben and the Jets, Kim Fowley, John Lee Hooker, Howlin\u2019 Wolf. The list goes on and on and on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We asked Phil a few questions to tie-in with the release of Singled Out<\/em>\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n

All these tracks were recorded with Carl Rosamond as producer. What do you like about working with him?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Mr Razorblade is a local legend around these parts. When we first went into his place we wanted to capture what we sounded like in the rehearsal room or live. He did more than that, he made us sound like a proper band. I don\u2019t know what knobs he\u2019s twiddling but it sure works! We are great friends and we wouldn\u2019t work with anyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are your favourite A- and B-side tracks from this compilation and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, favourite B-sides are \u2018Stick \u2018em Up\u2019 because it has the late great Jock on lead guitar, it\u2019s our nod to glam rock. Also \u2018Lock-up\u2019. It was tradition back in the day for snotty punk bands to show their appreciation for reggae and dub by having a go themselves however crap it may be, this was our attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A-sides, I like them all, maybe \u2018Suicide Bomber\u2019 because it\u2019s becoming hard to find, I\u2019ve heard that copies can change hands for over \u00a38 these days! The new singles are pretty good too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, you\u2019ve toured the world. What’s been your strangest gig? And what is your favourite venue to play?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, we were lucky enough to meet Paul, who took us out on the road and with the help of Sandra, our booking agent, we have played in some amazing places. Highlight would be Heligoland, a small island in the North Sea, (look it up) two long boat rides away, the last boat was full of drunken punks, Conor turned green with sea sickness, bless him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, a place we played just off Hollywood Boulevard called Madame Siam, I think it was once a nineteenth-century opium den. Our favourite haunts are Wild at Heart in Berlin and Freakshow in Essen, both incredible punk rock clubs. All the places we have played have been great, our tours have been eventful, and it\u2019s been an adventure.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How would you describe the other members of Cyanide Pills?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Adorable! Ha, I\u2019m not falling for that.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We asked the band members to nominate their favourite single\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy – \u2018Waiting (For You To Call Me)\u2019 because I\u2019m a sucker for power-pop songs with a catchy chorus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris – \u2018Break it Up\u2019 is my favourite single because it was the first one, and getting a 7\u201d out on Damaged Goods was a big step up from playing at Batley Frontier Club. I think we put two songs on the B-side because we thought it might be our only release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
