The Pop Group - Where There's A Will (Remastered Single)

Originally released as 7” single in 1980 and unavailable for several decades, 'Where There’s A Will' has been remastered from original tape for reissue as the opening track of The Pop Group’s compilation of rarities 'Cabinet of Curiosities'. An incendiary dance, it revels as much as it rebels. The song unleashes a feral form of torn, breakneck agit-funk with its potent urgency and savagely scathing vitality undimmed since its original release. A breathless torrent of writhing deviant disco bassline and volcanic free jazz sax, the song is electrified by Mark Stewart’s vocals, a rasping blitz of politically-charged calls for defiance and solidarity. The significance of the message contained within the unruly party atmosphere is as essential now as it was back then, as Mark Stewart explains, “MASSIVE RESISTANCE is what Where There’s A Will is about and in this age of hyper anxiety and scorched earth it’s as relevant as ever to quote myself, the lyrics at the end say ‘and if we must die let it be like hogs…our backs against the wall… but fighting back’.” The countercultural militant message is delivered as a hysterical, riotous spree, as Gareth Sager (guitar, sax) explains, “The group’s best attempt to mix a message with a groove plus some real free playing. If you’re really unhinged you may be able to dance to this.” The Pop Group formed in Bristol in 1977 out of a sense of disenchantment with the increasing conservatism of punk. Drawing on an eclectic range of influences from free jazz, conscious funk, heavyweight dub to avant-garde experimentalism, alongside contemporaries like Public Image Limited, This Heat and Throbbing Gristle, they were at the forefront of a musical period marked out by its ground-breaking innovation. Their original missives, which Mark Stewart describes as “an index of possibilities”, still explode with an incandescent spirit and energy, possibilities expanded upon by recent live tours in Japan, America, Australia and the UK and the band's first studio album in 35 years, 'Citizen Zombie'.
