Punky poppy synthy duo I Was A Cub Scout have offered friend and foe alike a chance to record their own version of their track ‘Pink Squares’.
In a MySpace bulletin posted today, the band said:
“We’re running a competition.
do you like pink squares?
record your own cover version and the best one could possibly end up as a b-side to our next single, which is coming out in january.
please send mp3s to our manager - peter@fearandrecords.com
t-hound/billy b
xx”
Their grammar and punctuation really is shocking, isn’t it?
The ‘Pink Squares’ single, a re-release following its original appearance in October last year, is set for a 28th January 2008 release. The band’s debut album, entitled I Want You To Know That There Is Always Hope is out a fortnight later.
The band are currently on tour in Europe with Minus The Bear. They'll be doing the same in the UK in December.

eeek
i have a feeling that this album may not quite live up to expectations.
ahhhh
the curse of the re-release
indeed
so long enough to actually put some time and effort in or just enough time to knock out something with half a good idea behind it?
nice
this single was recorded for our album over three months go.
in all honesty we havnt done any b sides, as we dont want to do any new songs yet.
i think itll be released with a couple live versions.
this bulletin was put out by our manager and we have nothing to do with it in anyway.
thanks todd
i think i may do one for this
and make it ghastly sounding
unnecessary?
pink squares = absolute wonderfulness. the first and only time i have ever 1) bought a single, 2) bought 'new' music.
IWACS...
and Minus The Bear?
*rushes to tickets*
Great, I love working for free
I'll get right on this as soon as I finish my latest 'citizen journalism' report for the BBC.
