Lock up your daughters……and your valuables, cos we know where you live ! After two years of self imprisonment in the studio Backdraft have finally finished their debut album and it turned out pretty OK.

Emerging from the studio these pair of Mancy bass botherers should never have been let loose with such lethal sounds, but it’s too late now, the album is ready to drop.

Providing a hefty dose of Backdraft’s intoxicating breakbeats magnificently blended with catchy hooks and melodies from the likes of Mr Fox, Veba, Julie E Gordon, Sporty-O, Goldmouf, Anthony Crook, Tracey Elizabeth, Ebere and more, this weighty compilation is pretty dangerous…….You have been warned!

After a couple of small label releases and many months touring the corners of UK and Europe by pure chance Anthony hooked up with a Mo Wax producer and personal luminary Ils.

By the end of a long night of conversation inspired by music, Anthony had agreed to play guitar on whatever Ils was going to come up with next.

What Ils did come up with next was Paranoid Prophets featuring 2 tracks co-written by Anthony, alongside his signature sweeping delayed guitars.

The album went on to win Breaks Album of the Year 2008.

Ils and Anthony were then asked to join their combined forces to release an updated and reworked version of Joy Division’s Love Will tear Us Apart to celebrate the anniversary of Ian Curtis.

Anthony suddenly found himself being approached to collaboarate in several guises on many projects influenced by the likes of Smashing Pumpkins, Mogwai and many more.
