Play Yr Heart Out is the latest album from post-punk legend and multi-instrumentalist Gareth Sager (The Pop Group, Rip Rig & Panic) - The album isa collection of reinterpretations, featuring new versions of Sager's previous tracks, highlighting his extensive career and the best of his avant-punk/funk sound and fury.

The album sees Gareth Sager on vocals, guitar, noise and production, joined by regular collaborators Ian Holford (drums), Dan Connolly (bass) and Davy Henderson (vocals).Gareth Sager is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and composer from Edinburgh and the founding member of post- punk provocateurs The Pop Group, avant- garde jazz /art pop collective Rip Rig & Panic and the unruly Bristol-rooted rock group Head.

An industrious collaborator and a prolific solo artist in his own right, Sager has been an unremittingly restless and versatile force in the post-punk era and beyond, throughout a dynamic career of confounding originality. As a vital presence, both in The Pop Group's original incarnation and in their subsequent reformation, Sager remained a principal foundation in one of post-punk's most relentlessly evolutionary and antagonistic groups. His uninhibited approach to instrumentation as a lifelong pianist, guitarist, saxophonist and clarinettist as well as his astute use of electronics helped inspirit the bands' momentous radicalism.
