Gossip - Standing In The Way Of Control

It's not every day that you happen across a brand new superstar, but in the Gossip we have ourselves a bona-fide rock-icon in the shape of sublime soul-fire vocalist and generation-inspiration, Beth Ditto. Set to go supernova, the Gossip release the killer title track from the album of the same name - 'Standing In The Way Of Control' on October 30th 2006

Along with the unique Motown-meets-Dischord feel of brilliant guitarist Brace Paine and kick-ass drumming of Hannah Blilie, the Gossip have left audiences wowed throughout Europe this summer. With five sell-out shows in the UK this July, plus national media support from the likes of Channel 4's 'Transmission' television show, Jo Whiley and Zane Lowe at Radio One, an astonishing eight page spread on the incomparable Ditto in i-D magazine, and pieces in, among others, The Times and NME, the Gossip has been this year's success story.

But it's only the beginning.

'Standing In The Way Of Control' is an irrefutable ANTHEM. Written by Beth as a response to her government's decision to deny gays the right to marriage in the US, the track has been picked up by DJs in clubs and at festivals across the world and exploded, becoming an international demand for civil rights.
