It’s 10 months since The Moonlandingz founders / writers Adrian Flanagan (Eccentronic Research Council) and Dean Honer (All Seeing I /I  Monster) bumped in to lead singer, Leonore Wheatley (The Soundcarriers) at a ‘Circuit Bending Workshop’ in South Yorkshire, where they decided to try writing “one song together and see what happens!”

Well, what happened from writing that one song was; Marc Riley at BBC 6 Music invited them in to do a live radio session for which they wrote a couple more songs. Then the Lord & Lady Mayoress of Sheffield outsider pop music, Jarvis Cocker and Roisin Murphy, both invited the group (now calling themselves, International Teachers of Pop) to do a few live shows with them. One (with Jarvis) was for two nights in a cave in Derbyshire and the other (with Roisin) at the prestigious Somerset House in London, so the band wrote a few more songs to give themselves something resembling a live set.

Immediately after those live shows they signed a record and distribution deal with Republic of Music in Brighton which allowed the group to put out a couple of killer singles over the summer - the Northern Rail baiting, nerd disco of Age of the Train and the Moroder playing down a youth club in Rotherham radio bothering, After Dark, which helped the group build some traction via their own label imprint, Desolate Spools. Now, after a spate of sporadic sell out shows, a mini-tour and electrifying festival appearances, ITOP are proud to announce the release of their eponymously titled debut album.
