Hey, hey it’s a split release from Tapioca Tundra and Sounds Incarcerated!
Tapioca Tundra is a collaboration between Mary Wyer/Julian Knowles (Even As We Speak) and Beth Arzy (Jetstream Pony, and The Luxembourg Signal). The idea came about when bands Even As We Speak and Jetstream Pony were due to share a stage in London in March of 2020, and with Mary and Beth both being big fans of The Monkees they had planned to gather on stage for a cover. Sadly the pandemic hit, which cancelled said gig. But like many, long distance task recording methods were employed to allow the collaboration to continue in the form of an audio recording (and accompanying video).
Both Even As We Speak and Jetstream Pony (and The Luxembourg Signal too) released albums in 2020, during a very trying time, but with raving reviews.
Sounds Incarcerated is the noise made when two married musicians (Viv Bonsels and former Prisoner(s) Allan Crockford) are unable to record or perform with their regular band, The Galileo 7. Over the course of the pandemic they recorded many cover versions and accompanying videos for a regular local themed online ‘open-mic’ event. Although the songs were initially recorded just to pass the time and entertain a small bunch of friends, the reaction was so positive that an album was swiftly put together – ‘Unswitchable Hits Vol 1’ was released at the beginning of 2021. This version of The Monkees ‘Porpoise Song’ was recorded for the ‘Animal Magic’ theme night in Feb ’21, and will feature on Vol. 2.
It is given an advance vinyl release here thanks to the serendipitous simultaneous appearance of a Monkees cover by another lockdown musical collective…
There’s not much more to say except ‘hey, hey it’s…’!
Don’t forget to check out Even As We Speak, Jetstream Pony, Sounds Incarcerated, The Galileo 7 and The Luxembourg Signal to hear more from the artists involved in this marvel!
Side A produced, engineered and mixed by Julian Knowles (Beth Arzy vocal recorded by Ian Catt).
Side B is a Franc Localdork production.

The greatest to ever do it, do it again! Sometimes lush as a warm blanket, sometimes all the angles of a dance party, always suspended in and out of time _hopskipjump
This is absolutely beautiful! I am so happy the Under the Bridge releases led me down this road. It's unexpectedly spacious and just makes me happy! It's very hard to pick a favorite and I will not be skipping tracks as I play through this repeatedly. zq9mare1
WOW! They hit it out of the park with this compilation! It's so much better than I had imagined!especially love Gentle Spring, Soundwire, Secret Shine, Tufthunter, Hit Parade,Mystic Village... too many to name! Birdienumnums
Chastity Belt and Loose Tooth team up for a melancholy yet hopeful split 7-inch of alternative guitar rock brimful of emotional nuance. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 13, 2020
Fueled by serrated riffs, raspy vocals, and rubbery basslines, the Aussie punks' latest pushes garage rock to rowdy extremes. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 15, 2024
AutoTuned vocals, pop-punk riffs, frenetic drum loops, a DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ collaboration: the Liverpool band do hyperpop-rock right. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 28, 2024
This is an unbiased review. That being said...I fell in love with Beth Arzy's voice the first time I listened to Aberdeen. I could listen to Beth sing the instruction manual for a dishwasher. But I'm grateful she's surrounded by talented and totally capable band mates instead. I'd rate Misplaced Words 4.6 out of 5. And had a devil of a time picking a favorite track. Tomorrow I might pick a different one as they're all very good. My biggest complaint is the album is over way too quick. CEF121
