"Very Metal Noise Pollution" (1989)

"Poppiecock" is the second EP by British grebo band Pop Will Eat Itself, released in the same year as the previous, "The Poppies Say GRRrrr!". The musical style remains similar to that of the first EP, with short distorted-guitar-driven tracks with simple melodies and rhythms. This style continued until Graham Crabb's movement from a drumming position to lead vocals in mid-1987.
