fierce panda is influenced by high art on the South Bank, low pressure fronts from the Atlantic and groovy fucker indie labels like Waap! Kitchenware (circa '85), Fire Recordings, Wurlitzer Jukebox, Creation (circa '86), Sarah Records and Rough Trade. Ahoy oi oi. Secret number one: fierce panda is slightly more indie than some people think.
Sounds Like
frequently very much like a flight of stairs falling down a flight of stairs, the noisy tumblings interspersed with rare moments of commercial lucidity as evinced by debut panda singles by Coldplay, Keane and Embrace. Secret number two: fierce panda is a bit more punk rock than some people reckon.

The label known as fierce panda records was born in a pub in the West End of London Town at the start of 1994. Somewhat predictably the pub (The Blue Posts) no longer exists and the site of it is now occupied by a Boots chemist on the corner of Hanway Street and Tottenham Court Road. Rather mystifyingly the label is still going more than a decade later - not bad when one considers the company was set up purely to release the 'Shagging In The Streets' EP and then call it quits. After all, if you intend to release over 200 records you don't call yourself something as bobbins as fierce panda, do you? Still, accidents will happen and so, a multitude of bizarre decisions and unwise career moves later, the panda continues to amble onwards and sideways accompanied by fellow travellers as stout and hearty as Art Brut, My Architects, Agent Blue, The Pistolas, Absent Kid, Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies, The Hot Puppies and Make Good Your Escape.
