Playfair redux

After a long hiatus, the UNusual Suspects returned to gigging with a new lineup and a new name. This EP, recorded in 2017 and available for the first time, took a fresh look at some of the old classics.

Stream, download or pay what you want – all contributions will go to recording our forthcoming EP of all new songs. Today is #bandcampfriday so 100% of all payments will come to us!

Our contribution to the compilation album “Cover Makes Me a Modern Girl” of Sleater-Kinney songs is out now on Heavenly Creature Records.
