Guillotine by British India
Guillotine is an album by British India, released in 2007. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Tie Up My Hands”, on 1 list with a best position of #46.
Guillotine, the debut from Melbourne's British India, came out on 30 June 2007 in Australia and New Zealand through the independent Flashpoint Music, with Shock handling distribution. The band cut it at Flashpoint Studios in Surry Hills, Sydney, the room owned by Harry Vanda, who is credited as producer, and it has the wiry, sweaty punch of a young band playing like the amps might get repossessed tomorrow. Declan Melia snarls and bashes out rhythm guitar, Nic Wilson's lead lines slash across the top, and Will Drummond and Matt O'Gorman keep the engine room clattering.
Critics took to it, and the band pushed it hard: "Black & White Radio", "Tie Up My Hands" and "Run the Red Light" all went out as singles, each with a music video of its own.
