Taken from forthcoming album ‘You Are the Quarry’, released May 17th through Attack Records, Irish Blood, English heart manages to combine socio-political thoughts ‘I’ve been dreaming of a time when to be English is not to be baneful / To be standing by the flag not feeling shameful / Racist or partial’ with an energetic accompaniment and, standing at little over two minutes, leaves you wanting more with a tantalisingly abrupt ending. The former pin-up is going to be busy over the summer, his homecoming May gig sold out in under an hour, he is confirmed to play Glastonbury and America’s travelling carnival Loolapolosa and he is curating the celebration of alternative arts that is the Meltdown festival. The Morrissey bandwagon is well and truly rolling once again and rightly so. You could do a lot worse than to jump on it. Jude Stone |
