Emerging from Bristol’s artistic community, Lice are the first signing to Balley Records the label run by Idles Joe Talbot. Drawing influence from an abrasive clutch of early post-punk groups such as The Fall, Psychic TV, Pere Ubu and Public Image Ltd., Lice’s lyrics deal with subjects such as xenophobia and misogyny through first-person monologues and short-stories (designed to confront listeners with their own hateful impulses and biases). Originally released as 2 limited edition CDEP’s this 'early years' collection features the songs that have comprised Lice’s live set for the past two years, having been honed, changed and finally completed.
