Lancashire, UK’s Vicious Bishop are back with Raining Guillotines, their first full-length album, that will be released on October 17th via Vicious Bishop Records. Picking up where their Miracle Formula 168 EP left off, the album features ten high octane shots of Punk, Punky Reggae and Ska Punk, with hints of Rocksteady and Hardcore, all maintaining the Bishops’ dedication to crafting memorable melodies, and ear-grabbing arrangements. I’m A Tiswas Kid (Trapped In A Swap Shop World) is the first single to be released from the album and is a nostalgic look back at the anarchic 1970’s TV show, it also features an appearance from the show’s legendary presenter, Sally James.

“The song is basically about the fact that a lot of things that self-appointed moral guardians said were a bad influence on us kids  when we were growing up, Tiswas, Punk, 2 Tone, Marvel comics, Bruce Lee movies, and even Sesame Street, actually turned out to be far more positive influences for a lot of us Gen X-ers than any establishment figure you can name. Tiswas was never patronising, and nobody who appeared on it ever took themselves too seriously, but we’ve grown up into a world that’s the complete opposite, so the song is an invite for anyone who’s sick of it to join us at the back of the bus making rude gestures through the window, like we used to do on school trips. Even that was educational, we had a teacher who would lecture you about the Battle of Agincourt if he caught you flicking the Vs.” (vocalist & guitarist Rich Davenport)
