If they have been posted about on here, I've missed it. I'm clearly late to the party, but wow.

Fantastic. I can't help feeling that there is a debt owed to Leddie and Smoggie. Either way, righteous anger. reminds me a bit of what Working Mens Club are doing down my way, though obviously less dance orientated.

It was actually Boff from Chumbawamba that alerted me to them after he saw the Leeds gig.

I've seen them twice now. Once at The Westgarth and again at the Raw Power Festival. They were excellent both times.

Seen them three times in London this year, they’re absolutely phenomenal.

A brilliant bunch of lads, couldn't be prouder of them. They're a bunch of mates one who I go way back with from the awld days on the local DIY scene.
Delighted that Kingsley and the lads are going up and up and don't seem to be stopping. As the poster pointed out above, they can't be anything ordinary when you have shout-outs from the likes of Black Francis, and Steve Albini and they have good relationships, naturally, with the likes of Sleaford Mods, etc. A single debuted on Rolling Stone is about as good as it gets!!
Can only get better and better for them, great stuff.
