"May Contain Nutters" Phones Sportsman's debut album - his first recordings since 1980!
Phones was a founding member of the seminal DIY band Swell Maps and also released a solo single of strange, disturbing, twisted pop in 1980. He then put music to one side and concentrated on a career in Geology. Now he is back and his songs are even more strange, twisted and disturbing!
On New Years night 2007 Phones Sportman sent a few experimental recodings to Topplers Records... By February 2008 this album was in the can! The album features two cover versions of songs by the legendary 'Nervous Norvous' as well as Phones own compositions. Lyrics and photos are contained in the 12 page colour booklet.

Phones Sportsman's second album
Only months after the release of 'May Contain Nutters' Phones was back with this mini album. More songs about Hot Pants, Wonderbras, Jowe Head, Radio DJs, Fatballs, Ladies of the Night etc etc etc... Exotic sounds and absurdist lyrics, this is the Phones Sportsman Band's finest moment!
Phones has also collaborated with his old Swell Maps bandmate Jowe Head under the name of The HeadPhones recordings of which may surface soon...
