Public Service Broadcasting is a London-based duo consisting of J. Willgoose, Esq. on guitar, banjo, other stringed instruments, samplings and electronic instruments; and Wrigglesworth on drums, piano and electronic instruments. They take samples from old public information films, archive footage and propaganda material to create their unique sound. Their aim is to teach the lessons of the past through the music of the future.
With a combination of live instrumentation and electronic elements, Public Service Broadcasting creates a captivating blend of sounds that transport listeners to different eras. By using samples from historical sources such as public information films and propaganda material, they provide an educational experience through their music.
J. Willgoose, Esq.'s mastery of various stringed instruments adds depth and richness to their compositions while Wrigglesworth's skills on drums and piano bring energy and rhythm. Together, they create a dynamic musical experience that is both thought-provoking and entertaining.

Rough Trade Shop favourites Public Service Broadcasting release their debut album on their own Test Card Recordings. Taking in archive material from the BFI and StudioCanal along with classic American public information films (such as the brutal driving-safety messages found on single 'Signal 30'), the album sees the corduroy-clad J. Willgoose, Esq. and his faithful drumming companion, Wrigglesworth, seeking to fulfil their mission statement over a wide range of subject matter and styles. The band weave samples from these films around live drums, guitar, banjo and electronics, creating an array of diverse tracks. What emerges is, by turns, thrilling, moving, funny and powerful; or, if you will, informative, educational and - most of all - entertaining. For fans of Stereolab, Krautrock, Lemon Jelly and British Sea Power.Vinyl housed in gatefold sleeve with inner sleeve and download.
