NEW SINGLE: 'Who's That'
Release Date: 27th July 2009
Hot on the heels of his electrifying debut single ‘River Phoenix’, which picked up huge support and daytime playlist action at Xfm and Kerrang, getting those in the know all hot and bothered, Trip precedes his eagerly awaited ‘ShortCuts’ long player with the jaw-dropping diatribe of album closer and firm live favourite ‘Who’s That’.
Co-written with Does It Offend You Yeah’s James Rushent ‘Who’s That’ sets the tone with a corrosive, flailing guitar intro, that leads into pounding riffs that drive the track to its livid core, laying the foundation for a typically graphic lyrical onslaught from Trip who takes no prisoners and leaves no stone unturned. Spreading his web of displeasure wide and embodying the scorn of a nation, Trip’s ire targets everything from the protagonist’s own lethargy and the fact he lost his virginity to the solo from ‘November Rain’ to traffic light tribulations and being picked on by a boy with a Transformers lunch box.
Saving the best and most vitriolic outbursts for the song’s heart-stopping outro, Trip, not one for respecting sacred cows, loosens his tongue and takes aim with a barrage of disses fired squarely at the most deserving of targets including soft porn, Bono and people who clap when planes land, all rounded off by a resounding “bollocks”. For the faint of heart there is a clean radio edit that forgoes Trip’s choicest phrasing but keeps both the spirit and objects of his wrath very much intact.
Taken from Trip’s debut album ‘ShortCuts’ that chronicles his adventures in the salubrious surrounds of Holloway Boulevard, ‘Who’s That’ is released through Autonomy Recordings on July 26th.
Born in a Wimbledon Hospital weighing a healthy 7 1/2 pounds, Alex Child aka Trip grew up in Hammersmith, West London. After the blur of college and a set of A levels that spelt DUDE, Trip found himself making and performing music across the capital at mates studios, on pirate radio stations and at open mic nights as a live vocalist and MC. After winning numerous Jump-off 'one bout MC battles' and hosting the DMC world championships, a chance meeting with the scratch perverts led to another chance meeting with Killa Kela. Not long after, Trip was touring the world with both acts, supporting bands such as NERD, Justin Timberlake, Busta Rhymes, Red Man and Outkast.
Early 2008 saw a limited 7" release of the irreverent rant that was Whos That, which picked up specialist radio play and was voted Tune of the Week in DJ Magazine. Music Week also tipped Trip as "one to watch"...
After moving to Holloway Boulevard in North London, Trip began to pen his debut solo album collaborating with James Rushent from Does It Offend you Yeah? and producer Lance Thomas (Ladytron etc). Now completed, the album 'ShortCuts' is a tragi-comic kaleidoscope of city life as seen through the eyes of a 24 year old Londoner. Think The Streets v The Clash...
As all the songs on ShortCuts are lyrical vignettes based around Holloway Road ( Holloway Boulevard!), North London, Trip decided to shoot an entire movie for the album rather than occasional videos for individual singles. Called DayTrip, the movie was shot by 11 different directors over a 24 hour period... Each director chose a song from the album and the film was shot in the running order of the album... Each director had 2 hours with Trip to shoot their video before he moved onto a different location and director to shoot another song from the album... Each director then had 24 hours to edit their short and the entire film was shown 24 hours later in a Soho screening room.... The beginning of each video starts with the same shot that ends the video preceding it, and each video has a clock showing real-time as Trip moved through his 24hour journey.... 'DayTrip' will be released free with the album 'ShortCuts'.
"Remember how special the first Streets album was? Now think Skinner, but more indie than dance, and you're there.
Trip has that same uncanny ability to conjure a window to a mundane world, and give that world meaning and magic. The Streets crossed over from dance to indie so naturally, Trip will go vice-versa, with an even better band."
Eddy Temple-Morris
"Say hello to a breath of fresh air in the guise of quick-witted star TRIP"
The Sun
"a flair for observation The Streets could only dream of...a great piece of individual modern poetry and genuinely bloody funny too."
