52 Commercial Road are a post-rock group from London, England who began in 2003. Formed in the bedrooms of five close
friends, at seventeen they found they all held uncommon musical interests and influences. And so began learning their craft together to make the music they longed to hear.
Eventually finding a more suitable home amongst London’s activist and squatting scene, they refined their creative instincts in the abandoned structures from where they eventually took their name. 52 Commercial Road signified a place of shared experience, youth, hedonism, freedom and an existence outside of mainstream culture. It has come to define and represent a collective memory, of transience, identity and politicisation.
Gigging extensively in occupied spaces, such as car show-rooms, universities, factories, shops, warehouses, clubs, pubs and houses for various social and political causes as well as the obligatory venue circuit, they gained a reputation for taking listeners on immersive and introspective journeys.
Whilst in the process of recording their 1st full length album, the line up was often subject to change but the core of the band continued and evolved, taking in new members and influences finding a new maturity. The self titled piece was produced, manufactured and released independently in 2008.
In 2010 they set about recording a 2nd Album at the prestigious Eastcote studios. Initial sessions there with engineer Sam Navel proved so fruitful that they managed to complete the project in September of the same year. The band organised a special launch night for their album ‘A Wreck Provides An Excellent Foundation’ producing 120 individually designed sleeves, and in suitably fitting manner, resisted the eviction of the venue. The album has since gained critical acclaim, generating interest and sales in the UK, Europe, North/South America and Asia.
Off the back of playing numerous parties and festivals in the UK and Europe, the band have built up a strong following of
dedicated fans.

Virtual Identity Grooming Session
..... my virtual identity is in need of a radical grooming.
Having now finally remembered the old email address I used for my first Mixcloud account, I decided to delete that said account and merge the mixes onto the most recent one:
I am also in the mood of making another one of those home-made mixes and one day I'd like really to start my own podcast, with SPOKEN parts. yes, spoken.
Always wondered why, somebody like me, never have been able to speak endlessly in front of the microphone; or maybe it's a matter of getting over the atrocious sound of my own voice?
With the course of these last 7 years my willingness to speak and write has decreased, leaving more space to visuals and audio creations.
My 2 mixcloud accounts now have become one, my blogs will be updated and my last fm page, like THIS page, will start a new life.
Or just pick it up from where we left off, far too much time spent on FB.

Industrialists of the World, UNITE! Tonight and Tomorrow!
"Why is our flag black? Black is a shade of negation. The black flag is the negation of all flags. It is a negation of nationhood which puts the human race against itself and denies the unity of all humankind. Black is a mood of anger and outrage at all the hideous crimes against humanity perpetrated in the name of allegiance to one state or another. It is anger and outrage at the insult to human intelligence implied in the pretenses, hypocrisies, and cheap chicaneries of governments. Black is also a color of mourning; the black flag which cancels out the nation also mourns its victims the countless millions murdered in wars, external and internal, to the greater glory and stability of some bloody state. It mourns for those whose labor is robbed (taxed) to pay for the slaughter and oppression of other human beings. It mourns not only the death of the body but the crippling of the spirit under authoritarian and hierarchic systems; it mourns the millions of brain cells blacked out with never a chance to light up the world. It is a color of inconsolable grief. But black is also beautiful. It is a color of determination, of resolve, of strength, a color by which all others are clarified and defined. Black is the mysterious surrounding of germination, of fertility, the breeding ground of new life which always evolves, renews, refreshes, and reproduces itself in darkness. The seed hidden in the earth, the strange journey of the sperm, the secret growth of the embryo in the womb all these the blackness surrounds and protects. So black is negation, is anger, is outrage, is mourning, is beauty, is hope, is the fostering and sheltering of new forms of human life and relationship on and with this earth. The black flag means all these things. We are proud to carry it, sorry we have to, and look forward to the day when such a symbol will no longer be necessary. "
