‘Tough Times’ is the spectacular sophomore single by London’s Personal Space Invaders (PSI). Combining upbeat, synth-driven pop sounds, with elements of new-wave indie, electro and post-punk, PSI are set to release their synth infused 80s flickered pop manifesto in the form of ‘Tough Times’ on the 9th May.
Personal Space Invaders are Will Durzu and Timothy Walters, who came together through a shared passion of “seething electronics and dirty beats”. Meeting in London through various musical outfits the duo immediately locked themselves away to create and craft their musical mould of electro; referencing bands such as New Order, Dépêche Mode and Joy Division, whilst mixing dark, demure atmospheres with a strong dance elements, which flickers with moments of modern pop.
The band’s debut single ‘Not My Boyfriend’ received radio support from Radio 1’s Nick Grimshaw and James Theaker of NME Radio. As well as various radio support the band have also been known for their raucous live shows, involving forms of audience participation and extreme energy. These extrovert antics led T4 presenter Rick Edwards to describe Personal Space Invaders as one of his favourite live acts of 2010.
‘Tough Times’ will be digitally released by the band on 9th May 2011 and will also include a remix of ‘Tough Times’ by Max Ling and previously unreleased track ‘Working’.
