Cornershop - Tonight's Free Lab Radio
British indie rock band Cornershop have been going since 1991, formed by Wolverhampton-born Tjinder Singh (singer, songwriter, and guitar) and Ben Ayres on guitar, keyboards, and tamboura and former members Tjinder's brother Avtar Singh (bass guitar, vocals) and David Chambers (drums). The band famously burned a picture of Morrissey outside EMI's office, photographed by Melody Maker magazine, and were joined later by the likes of Bubbly Kaur on vocals. The band became widely popular after Norman Cook's remix of Brimful of Asher in the 90s and have released 7 albums and many singles since 1991. Ben discusses what he's been listening to, the band's label Ample Play run with Tjinder's wife and their forthcoming gig, as well as brushing aside common misconceptions about the band. Ample play represent The Sufis, Cornershop, The Paperhead, Izzy Lindqwister, Matsuki Ayumu and more.

Urban Turban - Cornershop's New Album 2012
The track here, 'Milkin' It' featuring In Light Of Aquarius from Cornershop's new album (released May 2012), is a critique of hip hop today. In itself it's a minimal crash, as adventurous in it's nudity as some tracks by MIA. The bass line says "Cornershop!" but the rest of it, really is an experiment for them. The guys don't seem to enjoy sticking to a genre, which for me is exciting and natural.
Stripping it bare when technology allows you to slap on more, is hot stuff right now. I keep going to parties where people are dancing around to a simple beat and some ambient noise, not much else. We're so overloaded, that we're reaching for the metronome so we can act out all the words and rhythms that have built up in our heads during urban journeys? That's it! We're unwinding the urban turban a veritable beehive of sirens, advertising slogans, snippets of TV, radios and second hand I-pod noise and punctuated by bus brakes, alarms and drilling.
