    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Truly two sides to every story with this one.

    10 original punk songs recorded via contributions from all over the globe, produced and arranged by Jay Whalley and Clem Bennett at The Pet Food Factory. From the mentally questionable mind of Matt Downey (Cousin Betty, Death Mattel).

    The alternate side is the same 10 songs reimagined as pristine Jazz. Courtesy of the master-level skills of Andrew Scott (The Pocket Trio) the songs are recognisable but disparately brilliant.

    Includes download code.

    Tracklist:

    1. I Did a Thing
    2. Dear Jurisprudence
    3. Ten Hut!
    4. Hate Will Own You
    5. Goodies and Baddies
    6. Is There a German Expression For This?
    7. Everything Is Fine
    8. You Get To Be 50
    9. E-Racing
    10. Worth

    Includes unlimited streaming of vignettes of despondency/a life alimentaire via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.     ... more

lyrics

I could take away from you for sure, that wouldn’t make me feel good.
A short term high maybe but in the long run I’d be where I am
I could take you down a peg, I could dress you down in public.
That could expose me to some surreptitious group disdain.
The sun will come out tomorrow for the lovers and the haters just the same.
I can justify the pain I cause by saying I’m in pain
I can justify my rank a rank I’ve struggled to retain
coercion is a form of management combined with nepotism
can build a nest and help protect a useless brute like me

The sun will come out tomorrow for the goodies and the baddies just the same.

Subordination equals death Education maketh Education maketh
Today lose that blue collar Education maketh Education maketh
No one needs to be a serf Education maketh Education maketh
No one is above you and no one is beneath you

The new album is a two-sided exploration of cross genres, an effort to see if content is universal or exclusive to a particular tribe. ... more
