The group project began as an excuse to make fun & trashy pop-punk dance records to play at the club night. We didnt feel that there were modern equivalents to the B-52s, X-ray Spex, Sylvester, Gary Glitter, super italo disco acts like Raff or Giorgio. We wanted fantastic, disposable records you could throw yourself around to on the dance floor but find yourself whistling their tunes the next day.
Sounds Like
The Go-Go's, B-52's, Klennex, Patrick Cowley, Gary Glitter, X-Ray Spex, Sylvester...

The Record Playerz project was initially an offshoot of the eponymous club, an excuse to make fun & trashy pop-punk to play on the night – a contemporary equivalent to the B-52s, X-ray Spex, Sylvester, Gary Glitter. The music was intended to sound like those fantastic yet disposable records you could throw yourself around to on the dance floor, but find yourself whistling the next day.
