The Photocopies
Unapologetically old-school, often C86-ish #indiepop made without secret plans to fill stadiums (ugh).
Originally from London, currently in Michigan.
New limited edition 10" LP/cassette/CD "Counterintuition" out now.

- If this remix of @assistant.bandcamp.com doesn't get stuck in your head, nothing will. Get this EP on a #bandcampfriday - like today - and it'll benefit @cancerresearchuk.org more. You can even opt to get a unique painted postcard with it! assistant.bandcamp.com/album/assist... #indiepop #endcancer
- New remix EP in which @assistant.bandcamp.com and I remix each other! Every penny raised goes to @cancerresearchuk.org ...so you HAVE to buy it. 😜 And buy it today as it's #bandcampfriday which means more money for the charity. Thank you! #indiepop #newmusic
- In case you missed it. Expect the unexpected.
- Do not spend your entire Bandcamp allowance at once on Friday. You'll see why. 😉 #bandcampfriday

- Four years ago, The Photocopies released a double A-side single, I Don't Want You To Want Me / M B V. M B V never had a video until now, so here's one to mark the anniversary. Thinking of exploring this slightly darker sound more on the next album... www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldlb... #shoegaze #indie
- #nowplaying : this Raincoats compilation.
- (1/3) The CD edition of Counterintuition should start shipping from @subjangle.bsky.social very shortly, so here's another video from the album. This is the album version of "Looking For The Upside"... youtu.be/UKShaZPOvGA #indiepop #janglepop #baroquepop
- Spent a couple of weeks on TikTok once. What a waste of valuable time that was. If you’re a parent, find ways to make your kids think it’s lame now. If that makes you something of a social media influencer 🤮 so be it.

- #ICYMI By the way, this video is now one of five included in the digital download accompanying the Counterintuition CD.
- (1/2) The video for "The World Doesn't Understand" is a blockbuster with a cast of thousands! Or is it? www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbVU... #indiepop #janglepop #c86

- You can hear a certain wistful, post-apocalyptic singalong about life trapped in an underwater plastic bubble* - and more - if you embark upon Graham Duff’s latest journey into sound. www.totallyradio.com/shows/mixtap... *the new Photocopies single, Land’s End, in case you were wondering
- First released one year ago today, here's "To The Setting Sun" - a quietly hopeful song for seemingly hopeless times. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KerR... You can find this on "Greatest Hits, Volume 4".
- This seems like a good show to find The Photocopies on. 🙂 www.mixcloud.com/marco-turci/... This is last week's show, and I would guess this week's show is probably broadcasting right now in Italy... #powerpop #indierock
- Thanks for playing the new single, @djdumars.bsky.social !

- Spent the last hour walking around listening to early Fall, Wire, etc. Glorious stuff. Removing my earbuds, I was met with a car stereo’s generic yee-hah soft country ‘rock’. 🤢 Now I just want to make a scratchy post-punk record. Proper music! 😊
- Now that’s how you cover The Shangri-Las. (Well, technically, The Goodies… no, not Bill Oddie and co.) Check out “Sophisticated Boom Boom” on the Bandcamp page below…
- Nice to see Cccan't You See in this roundup of the best new cover versions. Thanks, @addtowantlist.bsky.social ! addtowantlist.com/index.php/20... You can get your free download of it here: thephotocopies.bandcamp.com/album/cccant... #indiepop #c86 #coverversion #viciouspink
- For anyone tired of being ‘led’ by a greedy man-child. youtu.be/Hh0zeGunz30?...
- So now we are here. youtu.be/LasrD6SZkZk?...
- Thanks @janglepophub.bsky.social for putting the “Treacherous” EP in this 2025 chart! 😊 thephotocopies.bandcamp.com/album/treach...
- (1/3) Here's the single version of Land's End, which just came out on Bandcamp with a previously unreleased AA side (Slipping Through My Fingers). www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ock... #janglepop #indiepop
- Here's a playlist containing a song from each of The Photocopies' releases and contributions to 'various artists' compilations in 2025. It has 18 songs, most of them first released in 2025. Thanks for all your support over the last 12 months! 🙂 youtube.com/playlist?lis... #indiepop #janglepop #c86
- Because it’s Paul “income tax deduction” Westerberg’s birthday. 😊 youtu.be/ethAzMaxaV0?...
- The final physical release of 2025 was In Session Tonight, a collection of recordings for radio shows. I’ve always been fascinated by such compilations, as you can see. 😊 You can find In Session Tonight and the other on-demand LPs here: elasticstage.com/thephotocopies Happy New Year! #indiepop #c86
- Released exactly 4 years ago today, here's "Better Than Nothing, I Suppose"... represented by a budget-free lyric video! www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbXu... It was originally a single, but these days you're more likely to find it on "Greatest Hits, Volume 1"...
- #ICYMI over the holidays… a free download single on Bandcamp! thephotocopies.bandcamp.com/album/cccant...
- (1/2) A few of you may already have this if you bought the recent Counterintuition 10” red vinyl and found a surprise free semi-flexi 7” inside. 😊 It’s a cover of the 1984 synthpop single Cccan’t You See by Vicious Pink… #indiepop / #c86 style! youtu.be/Mh5nZPFczWw

- (1/2) Just cleaned up the #Bandcamp discography a little more, setting various EPs/singles to "private" so the page is less overwhelming. Everything that's now invisible remains in your collection if you bought it, but even if you didn't, most 'invisible' tracks are also available on compilations.
- Nice!
- (1/3) The Photocopies wish you a very merry Christmas (or "happy holidays" if you prefer)! It's been a busy year... all of these came out, plus tracks on two compilation cassettes!

- If you're feeling overwhelmed by all the recent Photocopies releases... umm... there's a new single out on Tuesday. Apologies. 😊 So, if you feel the need to catch up on all the recent stuff, see the bio link to see what you might have missed! (By the way, 2026 should be quieter!) #indiepop #c86
