Punk Icons Andy Blade (EATER) & Derwood (GENERATION X) Reunite for Explosive Double A-Side Single ‘Cat In The Bag’ / ‘Junk Shop Saddle’ delivers a high-octane, feel-good collision of classic glam stomp and big-beat pop precision.
– single out 21st August on Velvet Trap Discs / Cherry Red Records –

Punk trailblazer Andy Blade’s seemingly unstoppable late-career surge continues apace with a brand-new collaboration alongside legendary Generation X guitar hero, Bob “Derwood” Andrews. Following the critical acclaim of their 2023 single, the majestic “You’re Strange” the duo have joined forces once again to deliver another masterclass in alternative rock chemistry.
Dropping on August 21st, their brand-new double A-side single, “Cat In The Bag” / “Junk Shop Saddle,” perfectly distills the duo’s finely tuned pop sensibilities. Blade’s distinctive, urgent vocal delivery layered over Derwood’s cut-throat riffs effortlessly converts raw sonic energy into pure, unadulterated feel-good vibes.
“Junk Shop Saddle” is a swaggering, neo-rockabilly adrenaline shot—a two-minute, revved-up nod to Chris Spedding’s iconic 1975 hit “Motorbikin’”. On the flip side, “Cat In The Bag” stands tall as an instant, big-beat pop classic with its “Tamla Motown meets T.Rex at a punk rock party” vibe.
The single will be available across all digital platforms and as a highly collectible, strictly limited-edition heavy lathe-cut vinyl release via Velvet Trap Discs (vinyl) & Cherry Red Records (digital) on 21st August.
