A new Not Usurper / Usurper album on Takuroku.
A self-titled split album, featuring the debut recording from new band Not Usurper, and a new recording from old band Usurper. Not Usurper isn't Ali Robertson and Malcy Duff. Usurper is Ali Robertson and Malcy Duff. You can download one here.
An old Usurper album.
For the first time in some years, I have remembered to upload something for Bandcamp Friday and it’s the long unavailable Usurper album ‘The Big Four’. Originally shat into existence via the Giant Tank label in 2012, please enjoy four meditations on supermarkets, electricity, thrash metal & more by Ali Robertson & Malcy Duff. Malcy might have called this his favourite Usurper album, but I promised not to quote him on that. You can stream, download & buy it HERE.
This article was written in 2024 by Edinburgh-based cartoonist Malcy Duff.
Cheers very much. Be seeing youse.....
So the final curtain has been and gone... Thanks to Summerhall for hosting Usurper's retirement party, to Tindegger, Joyce Whitchurch & the Chocolate Monk DJs for serenading our lugholes, and to our family & friends fae all over the dis-UK, Europe & further afield who made it along on Saturday. Our hearts melted, along with the rest of our bodies, in that sweaty sold out venue knowing that youse were there with us. Thanks also to our extended family of international weirdos across the globe who sent well wishes and who kept us keen to traverse the landscape of largely unpopular music for one day shy of two decades. We love youse, fellow choobs. You can continue to follow Ali Robertson's exploits...

A new (and final) Usurper album on Krim Kram.
Krim Kram's Dave Murphy will be hand delivering copies of the new Usurper album, 'The Big Two', at our Summerhall retirement party tomorrow and you will be able to scoop it up in exchange for ten pounds sterling. It's an honest-to-gonk cd, as opposed to a cd-r. Bet ye never thought ye'd see Usurper housed in a digipak! We will also have a t-shirt available which will cost fifteen quid and is a limited edition of just twenty-five. Roll up, roll up.....
IT'S "GOODBYE" FAE HIM... www.duffandrobertson.tumblr will shortly be reborn as www.gianttankeh.tumblr.com .
Those who know Malcy Duff will know that he squirms whenever social media is mentioned. So, with Usurper's farewell party happening this weekend, as of next week he will be retiring fae Tumblr permanently. Those who want to stay in touch probably already ken his phone number and anyone else should invest in a carrier pigeon.
Meanwhile, Ali Robertson will still be here and this Tumblr page will receive a new name so that you can continue to make this yr one-stop shop for all info regarding his creative endeavours, releases on the Giant Tank label and forthcoming TfEh events. Just note the new URL.
(I cannae guarantee that all the content previously available will still be present as I remain technologically inept, but I guess we'll find out next week when I hit the detonate button, eh?!?!)
