The Weekenders - That Was Now but This Is Then

This mini album was compiled to enable access to The Weekenders' deleted back catalogue of singles. The band always believed in singles in their own right, and these tracks were never meant to be leaders to an LP. Tracks have been drawn from BU001 'All Grown Up', BU002 'Man of Leisure', BU003 'Inelegantly Wasted' and the Fierce Panda EP 'Return To Splendour'.
The Weekenders were one of the early Britpop bands on the Camden scene in 1993, and by the time of the release of this compilation had built up quite a fan base. Their third single 'Inelegantly Wasted' was Melody Maker Single of the Week (peaking at No.3 in the indie chart). At the time, the band received a fair amount of press, including an NME 'On' Feature, and one of the 'Tips of the Year' in Melody Maker and several full page features. In 1995 the band sold out London's 500 capacity The Garage and went on to co-headline The Carling Stage at Reading the same year. Unfortunately due to other commitments, the album proper was never recorded. However, this compilation remains a great record of the early Britpop sound, and despite being originally released as export only with no UK press, it reached No.18 in the Independent Charts. It continues to sell well both here and abroad, especially in Japan, where the band have achieved a cult status.

Reviews
“They regularly remind me of late Seventies Buzzcocks, or The Jam on peak form” Melody Maker ’95“They deliver a set which contains eight classic singles which, in an ideal world, would storm the top of the hit parade and stay there” Melody Maker ‘94
“A fantastic example of early Britpop. Although only clocking in at 8 short tracks, there is an energy and enthusiasm here that simply isn't matched by the bigger artists that were around at the same time” Amazon.co.uk
