Public Service Broadcasting is the corduroy-clad brainchild of London-based J. Willgoose, Esq. who, along with his drumming companion, Wrigglesworth, is on a quest to inform, educate and entertain audiences around the globe.
PSB's uniquely spell-binding live AV Transmissions see them weave samples from old public information films, archive footage and propaganda material around live drums, guitar, banjo and electronics as they teach the lessons of the past through the music of the future - beaming our past back at us through vintage TV sets and state of the art modern video projection devices.
PSB released their debut album Inform – Educate - Entertain on Test Card Recordings on 6 May which features past singles ROYGBIV, Spitfire, Everest & Signal 30. The album debuted at #21 in the UK album charts and received widespread critical acclaim including 5* Album of the Month from Artrocker Magazine plus 4* reviews from The Guardian, The Independent and many more.
Their current single from debut long player is called Night Mail and released on 4 November on the same day as 'Inform – Educate – Entertain The DVD'. The band burst onto the scene in May 2012 with their critically-acclaimed EP, The War Room, which has now sold over 15 000 copies and earned them many high profile supporters. Over the past 18 months the band have risen from playing in the back room of pubs to selling out shows all over the country. Their most recent tour saw 2 sell out dates at London's Village Underground and next on the agenda is The Forum in November.
In September 2013 the band tour with Manic Street Preachers for a run of dates – capping off a fantastic year for PSB which has seen them sail past 100 live transmissions, including support slots with New Order @ Jodrell Bank, The Rolling Stones @ Hyde Park and over 30 summer festivals including Glastonbury, Green Man, Festival No.6 and many more.
