Bristol's LICE announce their debut album Wasteland: What Ails Our People Is Clear. Their new single 'R.D.C.' is the first taste of January's 11-track LP.

Noise-rock of the most satisfying order, 'R.D.C.' was created using a specially-made instrument christened Intonarumori. It'll be heard throughout the forthcoming record as a key element of what will reportedly be a concept album.

There's a lot of effort been put in here: LICE have also released an accompanying pamphlet with the story, lyrics and thrust behind their project. "We elevate the satirical song lyric to the highest realms of drama" they note on the front cover. Read more here.
