OrganisedScumVEVO

After cutting over a dozen demos in a friend’s home studio, Organised Scum came to the attention of Shields bassist John Martindale via an off-air recommendation from BBC 6Music's Tom Robinson when Shields were performing on his show. Martindale offered to put together new mixes of two of their early tacks and invited the band up to his recording studio (Blank Studios) in Newcastle to record their debut EP, with the band agreeing a deal with Shields' management company in the process. Even at this early stage, Organised Scum have already managed to garner airplay and attention from tastemakers at BBC 6Music and The Line of Best Fit.
 
“An enigma of sorts thus far, we've fallen for Organised Scum's slovenly but delectable slices of Britpop redux... [singer] Tom Duggins emits Jarvis Cocker's wry eye for society's inanities over a breezy, folk-inflected jaunt.”
