The Hittites burst out of Anatolia around four thousand years ago with their revolutionary iron technology and new-fangled Indo-European language. After a promising start, they were smitten by Yahweh along with the Jebusites, Ammonites and Vegemites to make way for the Israelites, featuring Joshua son of Nun, Abimelech son of Jerubbaal and Desmond Dekker. They bounced back with remarkable tenacity, however, adopting modern instruments such as the banshaw and Buschmann's patented aura. They can be found in the sleepy seaside town of Aberystwyth, chasing donkeys, eating ice cream and scaring passers by with their own brand of hillbilly pop music. The most famous Hittites are Uriah who survived being killed in 2 Samuel 11 to form a rubbish heavy metal band in the 1970s, and Dave who once snogged Will Young's sister. 'Disco Classics Vol. 1' sees The Hittites leaving their iron-age roots and coming kicking and screaming into the modern world with a new sound, a pastiche of acoustic instruments, to make this arresting and unique debut album
