Tory Amps

Pacer is an album released in October 1995 by the Amps, Kim Deal's side project from her group the Breeders, who took a break from playing together beginning in late 1994. Deal recruited two new musicians and named the group the Amps. The band recorded Pacer at several studios in the USA and in Ireland, with different engineers each time, including Steve Albini, Bryce Goggin, and John Agnello. The album received mixed reviews, ranging from highly enthusiastic to quite dismissive. Despite radio airplay for its single, "Tipp City", Pacer did not sell well. The Amps toured in 1995 and 1996 with groups such as Sonic Youth, Guided By Voices, and Foo Fighters. In 1996, Deal changed the band's name back to the Breeders, making Pacer the Amps' only album.

Solidus Randy 250 is an analog simulation of the Randall® RG100ES (late ‘80s) and RH150 (late ‘00s) solid state amplifiers.

The Conservative leadership contest is underway and the next British prime minister will not be chosen by parliamentarians or the wider public. Instead around 160,000 party members will likely get to decide who will lead Britain through one of the most turbulent periods in modern history. The Conservative Party have been known to deal swiftly with internal crisis, but this contest plays out at a time when it is bitterly divided and under fire from the newly formed Brexit Party. It is a critical time for the Conservatives' future. It's leaderless and vulnerable, and what happens next will dictate the fortunes of the country.
