“I think we started off unhinged, and now we’re a bit more refined,” says Josh Law, one half of Bristol’s Getdown Services – the duo who’ve scored huge word-of-mouth success from their idiosyncratic mix of punk, disco and satirical lyricism, and their sweaty gigs that practically guarantee a night of feral chaos. “Once you take the approach of ‘whatever happens, I’m still going to be making music’, it completely reframes your life. It gives you more energy and more mental capacity, and more time to consider that the things that are making you feel so shit aren’t other people or celebrities, they’re deep-seated.”⁣
⁣
On Getdown Services’ upcoming second album, ‘Massive Champion’, Law and bandmate Ben Sadler hold up an absurdist mirror to small-town British life with surreal and frequently laugh-out-loud results, like if The League Of Gentlemen had come with a dance-punk soundtrack. It’s a lurid triumph that has genuine signs of polish, but still packs the bite of the pair’s previous releases. “Ironically, we’ve found that having more confidence means we don’t have to be so boisterous – although there are still songs on this album where we’re just screaming by the end,” explains Sadler.⁣
