Album Notes

Pharaohs – previously under the guise HPR (Small Town Records/
BSM Records) – play a brand of technical indie with melodic pop
choruses in a similar vein to bands such as Foals and Wintermute.
Spending the beginning of 2009 at Coach Road Studios (I Was A Cut
Scout, Klaus Says Buy The Record), the band crafted the 7 track MCD
'We've Tried Nothing And We're All Out Of Ideas' – with the 3 track,
download only single of 'Squashed Against My Wall' as a precursor to
this. The aforementioned track received a lot of radio airplay, being
Radio One's Steve Lamarqc's track of the week.

When vocalist/guitarist Jake left HPR a little under a year ago,the
future of the band was left hanging in the balance. However, the
remaining three members would not give up so easily. Changing their
name to 'Pharaohs' and finding a new guitarist, they ditched the
distorted cacophony of past releases and concentrated on a more
melodic style whilst retaining the complex guitar-work that aided their
establishment in the UK music scene.
