A TRIPLE SINGLE RELEASE PARTY! Ejectorseat, Rosalita and Censored release their current singles...

Ejectorseat - “pop music that makes you want to dance with words that make you want to cry.”
Their first EP is here, ‘Not My Girl’ is the first of 3 EPs to be released on the newly resurrected label Taste Media (previously home to Muse, One Minute Silence, Shed Seven). Each EP will consist of 3 tracks and the band will be selling a 1000 limited edition hand numbered CDs at their live gigs ONLY on the 3 national tours which will coincide with each EP being released. ‘Not My Girl’ will be available to buy in the shops on 7”, as well as being available to download. However the CDs are strictly for the fans to purchase at the gigs as each EP that will be released will form part of each tour as the tour dates will be printed on the back of each of the CD sleeve’s, and are expected to sell out and quickly become collectable!

They describe they’re songs as “pop music that makes you want to dance with words that make you want to despair.” Influences include The Smiths, Manic Street Preachers, The Clash, Suede and any band capable of making meaningful pop songs. Their first two singles “Attack! Attack! Attack!” and “What Do They Care” despite being DIY releases made it into the top 40 and top 10 respectively on iTunes as well as - radio play from the likes of Steve Lamacq of BBC6 Music who made the band his “New Favourite Band”. Xfms up and down the country also supported the singles, and even Jonathan Ross played them on his BBC Radio 2 show.

“Gigantically infectious electrorock” - THE FLY

"Punchy pop-rock with an urgency that is utterly addictive. Think Blur when they used to have fun, but without the bad accents, or Kaiser Chiefs when they make you wanna pogo." Lisa Verrico - THE TIMES
