The gothic debut Wilberforce track first appeared as part of a video project in September 1996. First major exposure came courtesy of Wilberweb's launch in October 2001 and now available for download!
Wilberforce flirt with "fetish pop"! Premiered on 30th March 2002 as a foretaste to "Madame Fruitbowl", "Rubber Bra" was inspired by a postcard and a rather interesting catalogue!
A post-punk inspired offering, "Different Story" was written to plug the gap between "Madame Fruitbowl" and the band's debut gig. An oddity in the Wilberforce canon, refreshed with new overdubs in May 2008.
The near mythical track dropped at the last moment from their debut album, endlessly delayed, but finally released online in the dying hours of 2004 in rough mix form.
Wilberforce go country-ish!! Another waif and stray rounded up, dusted off and re-recorded in a rootsy style, to finally grab it's moment in the dying hours this time of 2005!
Originally appearing in 2006, this track was remixed and given new overdubs before being re-introduced on the back of the "Different Story video in 2008.
1987-1995
