Reissue of the debut self-released album by North London based One Eyed Wayne. A downbeat, drizzle ecked post-Sleaford Mods portrait of the UK in 2016 graphically brought to life. One Eyed Wayne is: Stephen Donoghue - guitars, vocals; Dean Leggett - drums, vocals; Pat Joslin - guitars; Donald Adams - bass.
"As society continues to teeter on the brink of total decay. They grasp the nettle of 'contemporary issues' by providing a cutting and breathless commentary on the minutiae of 21st century life. Sharing some ground with Art Brut and the Libertines, they look also for inspiration further back with the incomparable Ian Dury. On Attack Of The Luxury Flats, they take us on a whistle-stop tour of Broken Britain littered with aspirational ad breaks that are designed to make you feel inadequate without the fastest car/broadband/loan, nightmare night-life scenarios and local amenities so run down they eventually are demolished and replaced with high-money yielding ads. The title track addresses the later issue adeptly. One Eyed Wayne see clearly what is wrong and don't have a problem letting us know about it." --Louder Than War

Saucy Postcards Super Creeps is the second album from North London four-piece One Eyed Wayne. Featuring 11 brand new tracks, it is their follow up to 2016's well received Attack Of The Luxury Flats. One Eyed Wayne formed in 2014. Their debut EP 1234, was released the same year, and immediately picked up by Tom Robinson and played on his "introducing" show, which led to headline dates and festival appearances. One Eyed Wayne's debut album Attack Of The Luxury Flats was released in 2016 on their own label and met with critical acclaim. With a video of the title track produced by the Sleaford Mods team and airplay from Steve Lamacq, Chris Hawkins, and Gideon Coe, more headline shows followed quickly, as well as support slots with The Mekons, Brix And The Extricated, among others.
"They grasp the nettle of 'contemporary issues' by providing us with a cutting and breathless commentary on the minutiae of 21st century life. Sharing some ground with Art Brut and even the Libertines, they look also for inspiration further back with the incomparable Ian Dury also figuring in the lyrics both literally and in style." --Louder Than War
