The small dictatorship of Fortuna POP! has existed since winning its independence in the Brit-pop wars of the late 1990s. It's major export is the 7" single and the cd album, the sole produce of the country's various tribes, from the unfeasibly tall Butterflies of Love people of the east coast to the small pygmies of the midlands known as The Chemistry Experiment. Often unfairly grouped in the league of twee nations, the peoples of this small country are actually an incredibly diverse bunch, manufacturing everything from sixties pop psychedelia (The Loves) to stop-start riot grrrl shouty pop (Bearsuit), love songs for punk rockers (Milky Wimpshake) to sassy hip-hop sampling girl group pop (Cannonball Jane), mini-pop symphonies (Fanfarlo) to orchestral country (Airport Girl), sophisticated and elegant european art-pop (The Would-Be-Goods) to warm and literate indie (The Lucksmiths), lo-fi american rock (Finlay) to folk-prog-disco (The Chemistry Experiment), punk-soul (Comet Gain) to classic americana (The Butterflies Of Love), perfect pop (Tender Trap) to C86 Spector-ish indie (The Aislers Set) and modern folk (Sodastream).
..Our latest single is out soon! It's a split single with a new SPC band, Standard Fare, and features two of our new songs "Angel of Death" and "Tricks":
