Shitdisco

Known by some as the Scottish version of Klaxons, the rudely named Shitdisco formed in 2003 and signed to the independent Fierce Panda Records label in 2005, where they released their first single, the limited double-A side of Disco Blood/I Know Kung Fu, in December. They followed this up in October 2006 with one of the catchiest singles I've known: Reactor Party, which was also their first full single. Such was the success of Reactor Party that the group's next single, OK, wasn't released until the week after the group's debut LP, Kingdom Of Fear, dropped on 16th April. I Know Kung Fu was then issued as a standalone single in November, and has been the band's last piece of work, and was also keyboardist Jan Lee's last release as he would quit the group in January 2008 to focus on his university work, and was replaced by Tom Straughan. Despite performing many DJ sets around the world, there hasn't been any sign of any new material from the group yet, so it is unknown whether they will release anything else. Reactor Party's video is below, with downloads after.
