The Automatic

The Automatic also known as The Automatic Automatic in the U.S. and Canada (after the band were faced with legal action from someone under the name of Automatic[2]) are a Welsh based band. The three original members James Frost, Robin Hawkins, and Iwan Griffiths are from Wales, however new addition Paul Mullen (originally of Yourcodenameis:milo) is from Newcastle. The band originally formed in Cowbridge, but are currently based in a studio in Cardiff.[3] Jarcrew, Muse, Blur and The Blood Brothers are among the bands influences[4] The band released their debut album, Not Accepted Anywhere, on 19 June 2006 through B-Unique Records and Polydor Records, the album featured the prior to LP release single "Recover", "Raoul" and "Monster".[5] The band as of 1 March 2008 have finished their second album with new member Paul Mullen, after keyboardist Alex Pennie left in September 2007.[6]

History

Band beginnings (1998–2005)

The members first met at primary school, in the early nineties, and formed a band at the age of 13. This was without ex-member Alex Pennie, who was asked to join five years later.[7][8] Originally known as White Rabbit[9] they renamed themselves The Automatic because they believe that music is the antidote to "the automatic life".[10] They signed a five album record deal[11] with B-Unique Records in their gap year, they are managed by Martin Bowen.[12]

Not Accepted Anywhere (2006–2007)

In November 2005, the band released their first single, "Recover", prior to the release of their debut album Not Accepted Anywhere, this single however was not chart eligible since only 1,500 copies were released on vinyl and only 3,500 on CD. Also in 2005, The Automatic won The Pop Factory award for "Best New Band".[13]

On 27 March 2006, the band's next single, "Raoul", was released, reaching #32 in the UK Singles Chart. The third single, "Monster", was released on 5 June 2006 and reached #4, but entered the UK Singles Chart at #23 the week before based on download sales alone. "Monster" has also been re-mixed into a dance track by Fatboy Slim, and some football teams use the song as an anthem.[14] Former keyboardist Alex Pennie has expressed his thoughts on football fans singing their song "Monster", and does not see it as a good thing, nor does he get any thrill out of them singing it, also stating "I'm not the biggest fan of football, I class it a waste of time," in an interview with MTV.co.uk.[15]

Not Accepted Anywhere, was released on 19 June, 2006, which they celebrated with a signing and performance in Oxford Street's HMV.[16]

On 17 July 2006 shortly after the UK release of Not Accepted Anywhere, the Raoul EP was released, containing a number of earlier songs and B-sides to Not Accepted Anywhere. The EP also included the original versions of "Recover" and "Raoul".[17]

After the Automatic's release of "Monster" they were heavily criticised for their follow-ups to their chart hit, which peaked at #4 in UK charts. The band have even been accused of being a one-hit wonder[18][19] Not Accepted Anywhere was also criticised for the tracks sounding too similar to one another.[20][21] [22]

The fourth single was a full release of "Recover", and is actually a re-recorded version of the song which the record label felt to be a more fully-realised performance. Generally it is heavier in sound, features more synths from Pennie and a sharper guitar sound for Frost's solo.

16 August 2006 saw the band's second EP, titled Live at the 100 Club, the EP was recorded at the 100 Club, in London and made exclusive to iTunes.[23]

The fifth single, a re-release of "Raoul", was released on 8 January 2007, by choice of there record label of B-Unique. The single fared worse than its original release, however received higher plays on MTV, Kerrang and other music stations.[24]

On 26 June 2007 the band released their debut album, Not Accepted Anywhere in the U.S. and Canada. This comes prior to their attendance at the Vans Warped Tour, 2007. Their first U.S. single, "Monster", was released on 24 April 2007.[25]

Departure of Alex Pennie

On August 26 2007 Pennie performed for the final time with the band at Get Loaded In The Park.[26]

On 18 September 2007 it was announced by The Automatic that Alex Pennie had left the band. It was later revealed that he had wanted to leave the band since January 2007.,[27]It was announced through the bands website and through the bands MySpace that Pennie had been finding playing with his band mates increasingly unenjoyable and that he had been growing apart from them.[28][29]Up until that point Pennie was reported to be working with the band on their second album[30] stating in an interview with NME;

I'm much more excited about the second record, its shaping up to be quite dark and sinister and my vocals are getting better as well.[31]
Alex Pennie

In November NME reported that the band have had no direct contact with Pennie since the split, which also took place earlier than the official split according to his former band mates, Rob has exchanged MySpace messages with Pennie however, reporting that he is doing ok, and that he now has a new punk band.[32] Alex Pennie has more recently stated that he is returning to the UK to start work on a new project.[33]

Second album (2007–present)

Main article: The Automatic § Albums

In February 2007 guitarist James Frost was interviewed and stated that a non-album single would be released around March 2007. However it was never released, nor was it ever officially said what song was going to be released, although it was speculated to be "Revolution" which the band played throughout their NME Indie Rock Tour.[34]

The band have said that they want their second album to sound more Foo Fightery, also saying they wish their studio sound to become less pop and more like their current loud and energetic live sound.[35]

During the NME tour, the band showcased two new songs "Steve McQueen" and "Revolution" which could appear on the album however they may not..[36] In playmusic magazine it is suggested that the sound on the second album will change; the band have maintained that their debut was too pop, however they have said in other interviews that there will be no drastic changes in the genre for the second album.

The band began work on writing the second album when they traveled to the America, for the Vans Warped Tour 2007, when the band returned this was then continued in their studio in Cardiff.[37][38][39]

On 19 October 2007 it was reported by Rock Sound that former yourcodenameis:milo vocalist Paul Mullen would be joining The Automatic as a rhythm guitarist.[40][41]

It was reported on 22 October 2007 that Paul Mullen was to the join the band, however he is not the direct replacement for Pennie, but will be the band's rhythm guitarist and backing vocalist. The band also are reported to have 20 songs demoed and ready to record, half of which were written with Alex Pennie[42] and the other half have been wrote with Paul Mullen. The new album will feature just as much keyboards according to James Frost, however synths and keyboards will be split between the four band members. [43]

The new songs apparently are poppier than before, with some heavier songs and some more mellow songs according to James Frost.[44]

As of 1 March 2008 the band have completed their album, and have returned from their Los Angeles studio to begin promotion and touring in the [[United Kingdom. The album is set for release in May, with a song to be put on the bands MySpace in the coming weeks.[45][46]

In March the band will begin their Club Tour, playing at smaller venues to "get up close" with the fans. Support for the tour will come from Viva Machine and Canterbury.[47]

It was announced through the band's MySpace, official website and through NME that the band would be letting fans vote for what songs they want to hear on there upcoming tour.[48][49]

Rocklouder Magazine confirmed that the bands first single would be "Steve McQueen", first played on the NME 2007 Tour, as well as announcing a series of new tour dates in the Summer months.[50]

Live, television and radio performances

Main article: The Automatic tour history

The band are well known for their performances of "Gold Digger", which on numerous occasions they have been joined by various guests when performing the cover, including Newton Faulkner on the Warped Tour, and Goldie Lookin Chain at reading festival.[51][52][53][54]The band as well as covering this have taken to covering Talking Heads classic, Life During Wartime.[55] the band also used to occasionally cover At the Drive-In's song "Arc Arsenal"[56][57] In more recent times band members James Frost and Robin Hawkins, along with band No One Is Innocent, have performed Personal Jesus, originally by Depeche Mode, however the song is performed in the same manner as Marilyn Manson's 2004 cover.[58] Some of The Automatic's most notable touring appearances include Reading Festival 2006, NME Awards Indie Rock Tour 2007 [59] and Vans Warped Tour 2007.

Criticisms and controversy

In July 2006 the band appeared on GMTV's early breakfast show despite expressing a desire not to appear, however due to a party the band mates attended the night before they had not sobered up, and instead carried on drinking, during the performance the band were made to mime it, thus leading to Alex Pennie jumping around more so than usual, whilst Frost smashed his rented out guitar, then the two jumped into Iwans drum git, whilst Rob and Iwan continued miming.[60] During the incident a cameraman supposedly received a glancing injury from guitarist James Frost and threatened the band with legal action.[61][62][63]

During the band's 2007 NME Indie Rock Tour Alex Pennie had a incident with a stage invader, who managed to get on stage, lighting a cigarette, and sat on one of the stack amps, this lead to Pennie jumping up and wrestling the invader to the ground where the scrap was broken up by bassist Rob Hawkins.[64]

Kasabian lashed out at The Automatic as well as Bloc Party and Pete Doherty, branding the band as horrible and labeling Doherty as tramp.[65]

Relationship with The Horrors

Throughout the build up to the NME Indie Rock Tour 2007 there was growing tension between the band and The Horrors, the problem started after in an interview with NME guitarist James Frost was questioned about The Horrors, saying they were "crap", over-hyped and who just have "big hair"[66]. The Horrors responded to this in an interview saying "there are probably people who don't get our music. I'm sure they'll be much happier flogging their dead horse." Bassist of The Automatic then responded saying “They’re raping a dead pig.” Frost then in an interview with Gigwise.com continued the feud by stating "I think that they come from the sort of art-school background and they’re just trying to be as cool as possible. We don’t really care to be honest, if you don’t like us don’t bother with us."[67][68] The dispute was supposedly settled during the NME Tour.

David Hasselhoff

Since 2005 the band have been requesting shrines for David Hasselhoff at the venues they perform at.[69] The band have said they respect the actor and musician and would in-fact at some point very much like to work with him.

In 2006 the band aided Hasselhoff's chart success by purchasing all of his single "Jump in My Car" in Bristol Virgin Megastore; drummer Iwan Giffiths then justified their actions by saying the band were Hasselfoff fans and that they would love the opportunity to work with him at some point.[70]The band have been featured a number of times in parts of various Hasselhoff websites.[71]

Other appearances

In 2006 they became the first band to make an return performance on The Friday Night Project.[72]

In 2006 also the band appeared in BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge, playing their number #4 hit"Monster" along with their alternative cover of Kanye West's "Gold Digger", the track was also later featured on the CD live lounge.[73] In 2006 the band played T4 on the Beach, similarly to their GMTV performance they were forced to mime, again leading to the band playing whilst drunk, however this time not as much destruction was caused by the band mates.[74]

On four separate occasions the band have appeared on the T4 show Popworld. After the broadcasting in an interview the band stated that if The Kooks and Razorlight got into a fight then they would support The Kooks, saying that Johnny Borrell has a lot of people who already dislike him. This came after their appearance on Top of the Pops,[75] as were The Kooks, and ironically Lostprophets, which they felt was awkward considering Fearne Cotton had previously been dating Luke Pritchard and Lostprophets frontman Ian Watkins, during the interview with Popworld Iwan made jokes of how Fearne was giving Frost the eye.[76]

In September 2006 the members made an appearance along with The Manic Street Preachers in Sky Sports show Soccer AM, their track "Raoul" was also soon featured on the show's soundtrack to the year.[77]

On 16 November 2006, Alex Pennie appeared as a guest on panel show, Never Mind The Buzzcocks.[78]

On 9 January 2007, Robin Hawkins and Alex Pennie stood in on the Zane Lowe show on BBC Radio 1, hosting a two hour show, with tracks from Frank Turner and Viva Machine, The View, and several other artists.[79]

On 11 January 2007 the band appeared in Habbo Hotel UK.[80]

In July 2007 Rob was interviewed on The Vinnie Langdon Show[81] USA TV Show in Sacramento, California.[82]

Musical style

The band are often described as electro-disco-punk rock,[83] with synthesizers and keyboards backing up a firm punk rock sound. With influences such as Jarcrew, Muse, Blur and The Blood Brothers,[84] and a joint love for bands such as Radiohead and Ash.[85] Not Accepted Anywhere was said to have elements of pop, punk, emo, techno and electro[86]During there live performances the band are usually extremely energetic on stage performances, the constant microphone swinging during there Not Accepted Anywhere era from former keyboardist Alex Pennie, as well as regular crowd surfing from guitarist James Frost were part of the usual stage antics, Pennie could also often be seen climbing on stacks of amps and whatever else was available.[87]

Band members

Jamie Allen could be seen at the band's live shows during their 2006 and 2007 tours; during the bands cover of Gold Digger he is seen playing bass whilst Rob Hawkins plays flute and Pennie sings lead vocals. After Alex Pennie left the band wanted people to know that Paul Mullen is not the direct replacement for Pennie, and that Mullen will be in fact mainly acting as a rhythm guitarist, with synths and keyboards being split between Frost, Paul and Rob.[88]
