WITH MEMORABLE MELODIES FUSED TO HIGH-OCTANE RHYTHMS PLAYED AT UNBELIEVABLE SPEEDS, THE WOODENTOPS WERE ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING – AND EXCITING – BANDS TO EMERGE DURING THE 1980s.

Next week One Little Indian records release BEFORE, DURING, AFTER – a 52 track retrospective of  The Woodentops’ entire career, from 1984 debut single PLENTY through to final single TAINTED WORLD (1991) and covering all points between, including remastered versions of the band’s two studio albums: GIANT (1986) and WOODEN FOOT COPS ON THE HIGHWAY (1988).
In the first of several editions of The Mouthcast to be focused around the release, frontman Rolo McGinty reveals the painstaking process involved in ensuring that the band’s legacy sounds fit for the digital age.
