Who are they?
Sarandon are a pop band with a short attention span. They formed in late 2003 between London and Leicester. Crayola had the idea for Sarandon swirling round in his head for some time and finally got round to asking Joe and James if they'd help out. Simon joined Sarandon in August 2005, replacing James on the drums.
 
The delicious concept of the band was this: 4 x 7-track 7” ‘mini albums’ each containing enough short bursts of spazzy pop to keep the listener fed, but not bloated. Each one to be released by a different label, then all 4 labels to team up and put out the lot as a large album at the end. The absolute minimum of mucking about - keep it lean, taut and thrifty. Over before you know it.  
 
The first of these releases was ‘The Miniest Album’ (Run Out / Banazan). Released in 2004 it quickly gathered some great reviews from all over the world along with a bunch of radio play and enticed new fans such as Japan’s Melt Banana. Not bad for a band that had only rehearsed twice and played live once before their recording. They followed this with 'The Big Flame' (Banazan) in the middle of 2005 which saw the band having rehearsed just once more before going into the studio – laziness or perfection? You decide.
 
Wrath is proud to be involved with the release of ‘album’ number 3. It is 'The Feminist Third' and follows EXACTLY the same pop blueprint as the first two, but this time with the addition of stuttering trumpets and harder-thumped drums. The future sees Sarandon lined up for a tour alongside their heroes The Nightingales and the inevitable fourth ‘mini’.
 
Sarandon say:
Why pop? - Because pop is good.
Why short songs? - Because there’s no need to make them any longer.
Why that brittle sound? - Because leanness is exciting.
 
Some other people say:
‘catchy as the flu, incredibly listenable and very, very short - the ultimate disposable band’ – The Fly
‘the most spastic pop I've heard in a while’ – Indiepages
‘it makes you long for the days when Ron Johnson records released something as fresh as this every month’ – Rough Trade
‘Their songs bounce like rubber balls, bringing to memory the dislocated punk of Yummy Fur, Josef K and -above all- the incomparable Big Flame.’ - Go Magazine
‘This is articulate, quintessentially British pop.’ – Everett True, Plan B
‘Sarandon make Arctic Monkeys and Bromheads Jacket and their like sound positively radio fodder.’ – Artrocker.
