On this first new band album since
Goodbye To The Madhouse in 2007, Nick Burbridge is joined by Simon
Friend and Jeremy Cunningham from The Levellers, Dil Davies and Al Scott
from Oysterband, along with usual suspects Ben Paley, Tim Cotterell and
friends, to produce a relentless and inimitable album of folk/rock/punk
music which places McDermott’s Two Hours immovably at the heart of all
that has happened in this genre, while still full of biting contemporary
references and adding strains of lyricism and tenderness not usually
discovered there.
Produced by Al Scott, Tim Cotterell and Jeremy Cunningham, and
released by OTF Recordings, it represents the zenith of the band’s long,
intermittent history. Release Date: 8.2.19
The album will be available from
www.levellers.co.uk
and through mainstream distribution. Some of the best music of the last thirty years wouldn’t have existed without this band (RnR) If you’ve read any of my reviews of Nick Burbridge and McDermott’s 2 Hours albums in the past then you will know I rate him as one of the best songwriters (Spiral Earth) This album has everything you’d want from a folk album (London Celtic Punks) These are songs of the diaspora experience – direct, uncompromising, but no less shot through with their own mythologising of the narrative of innocence and experience (folk radio)
A call for solidarity in the face of oppression (fatea)
