Cynics Change Name To Great Cynics
Cynics have changed their name to Great Cynics. Giles Bidder recently spoke to The 1st Five about the name change:
"The Cynics, a garage rock revival band from Pittsburgh, sent an email which pretty much said they will take us to court if we don’t change our name. They’ve been going for 27 years which is longer than I’ve been alive and we didn’t want to try and risk having to pay them a fuck load of money if we didn’t get away with it, so we cut our losses and added a ‘Great’ onto the front of the name."
The full interview can be read here.
'Don't Need Much' is released on June 13th through Household Name Records (CD) and Kind Of Like Records (LP).
'Don't Need Much' can be pre-ordered through Banquet Records.

Cynics (aka Giles Bidder) will be supporting Against Me! at their show at The Fighting Cocks in Kingston tomorrow night (August 26th).Album Review: Cynics - Stones I've Thrown EP
If the sound of Billy Bragg with a taste of Against Me! is what gives you wet dreams, then onesies Cynics (aka Giles Bidder) is the band that will sing you to sleep (if by sleep you mean sing-along with bucketloads of energy). His EP 'Stones I've Thrown' kicks off with '14 Coleman St.', a simple but effective sing-song drenched in acoustic punk ethos. Not instantly memorable, but it makes up for its lack of catchiness with enough heart to stop divorces."This may be all for nothing but I won't be fucking boring" sings mastermind Giles in 'You're Alright' and he's definitely true to his word. The song contains a welcome seasoning of instrumental arrangements, and ends on a melodic and tender note, making it the EP's stand-out track. 'Be Excellent To Each Other' starts off with chordal work similar to Dashboard Confessional's earlier work and channels the acoustic punk vibe into the man's poppier offering.
