Kilgore Trout – Stick It In The Bank Man [12''] (1986, Hits $ Corruption)

 

 

 

'Stick It In The Bank Man' is a 12-inch vinyl EP released in 1986 by the British alternative/indie rock band Kilgore Trout. This was their debut release and came out in the UK on the small independent label Hits $ Corruption. Like a lot of mid-80s indie records, it had a fairly limited pressing and was never reissued, which is why it’s now a bit of a collector’s item. 

The record features four short, punchy tracks that capture the band’s raw, slightly scrappy indie sound. Alongside the title track (sometimes simply listed as “Bank”), the EP includes “Quality Control,” “English Never Listen,” and “Right Boys.” The songs are all around the two-to-three-minute mark and sit firmly in that post-punk/indie crossover style that was common in the UK underground at the time. 

Kilgore Trout were active in the mid to late 1980s and were based around Nottingham and Sheffield. The band was largely driven by Chris Trout, who wrote most of the material and often handled multiple instruments. Although they never broke into the mainstream, they picked up some attention on the indie circuit and received radio play, including support from John Peel, which helped them gain a small but loyal following.
