On it's initial release In 2015. GMP was a compilation of the week on Lauren Lavern's BBC6 music show. 'Ranging from The Still's crunchy power-pop to the Class Of '77-esque nihilism of Mike Joyce's pre-Smiths combo The Hoax, the music containedwithin is always solid, though sometimes predictable. Pure Product's angular, XTC-ish Rejection and V2's genuinely edgyNothing To Do have, however, retained the ability to genuinely startle'.
