A few weeks back down Peckham way, rehearsing our recent Mark E Smith, Albert Camus collaboration…

The Fall 

What is a judge-penitent?

Jean-Baptiste Clamance at your service
I was once a man of virtue and taste
Now I spit daily in the face of the blind 
My fall, ignoble, assured and complete

I am the judge penitent, I am the judge penitent, I fell from grace, I fell from grace

I deny the good intention 
The respectable mistake
I inveighed publicly against the humanitarian spirit
My fall, ineluctable, relished and fated

I am the judge penitent, I am the judge penitent, I fell from grace, I fell from grace

The road to freedom is paved with ill intent
The road to happiness arduous and long 
Sha la la la la, Sha la la la la,  Sha la la la la, Sha la la la la, Sha la la la la, Sha la la la la

I am the judge penitent, I am the judge penitent, I am the judge penitent, I am the judge penitent - I fell from grace, I fell from grace, I fell from grace, I fell from grace by @brigade_junk

A belated tribute to the Queen of Country x

Most of us have lost the object of our desire and affection to a Jolene. I know I have. The sad fact is Dolly has lost her man to Jolene anyway, even if Jolene backs off. That’s the beauty, universality and ultimate tragedy of this very simple yet profound song x by @brigade_junk

Happy Birthday to our favourite Punk Rock Warlord (that’s warlord, one word).

“In your snakeskin suit and your alligator boot,
You don’t need a launderette you can take ‘em to the vet”

One of the greatest albums ever made. From the artwork to the brilliance of the songs within. A masterpiece of pop culture. Thank you messrs Morrissey, Marr, Rourke and Joyce. 

My basic take on Cemetry Gates - a song that is sad, profound and comical all at the same time. No mean feat.

A few (belated) pics from our trip up north, playing Strummercamp.
 
Suffice to say, we had a blast. 

 “Everybody wants to bum a ride on the rock and roller coaster, we went out and got our name in small print on the poster” - Joe Strummer (The Clash - All the young punks).

Rehearsing last night for our trip to @strummercamp at the weekend, great to get Realpolitik Blues back in the set after ‘resting it’ for a few months. It was written a fair few years ago but lyrically seems to be more prescient than ever.

Vote for Nigel Barton baby, vote for Donald Duck
We’ve run out of ideas, now we’re running out of luck
Democracy’s a conspiracy and fascism is false
So keep your finger on the trigger baby, I’ll keep my finger on the pulse
If Disneyland did politics and religion did the truth
Like the posh folk did the poor folk and the old folk did the youth

Let’s get real - the populists are rising
Let’s get real - disciples mobilising
Let’s get real

There’s murder in the eyes of concerned citizens
Who point their fingers at the world with whom they trade insults
Then claim their innocence
With the logic of the idiot

Everyone’s a narcissist and everyone’s on pills
But a healthy social media profile won’t save you from the dark satanic mills
You won’t find gold in them there hills, nor reds under the bed
Rock n’ roll, God and liberty and even Communism’s dead

Let’s get real - the world is full of guns for hire
Let’s get real - every week a new messiah
Let’s get real

Division is the new religion
In the pulpits and on pedestals we put villains
Go figure
As they get bigger and bigger and bigger

And the leaders of the not so free world, save us from ourselves ‘cos we just can’t be trusted
And we, we drink to forget, that the atom bomb is still a threat, our motto, let’s get blotto
And let’s not forget big business, whose business is the business, to protect and serve big business
And prejudice dismissed, as gone mad political correctness, of the snowflake generation

Next weekend we’re heading up North for the fantabulous and always groovy Strummercamp festival. We’re thrilled to be playing the Saturday night. If you’ve never been, now’s maybe the time to right that wrong. Day tickets available. Set transmitters to boost. Look sharp! by @brigade_junk

Our little beat group definitely subscribe very much to the ‘less is more’ policy in regard to output. ‘Do one more take, but this time, like you fucking mean it’ is a phrase that is bandied about a lot in the studio….keeping us all in check and working to the clock. 

With that in mind, we’re glad to report that we’ve recorded 4 new tracks at our favourite spot, One Cat (Crystal Palace) under the watchful eye (and extremely precise ear) of our engineer Jon. We’ll be mixing next month with a view to releasing either a 4 track EP or a single later in the year. Will keep you posted. 

Here we have the singer ‘doubling up’ on a couple of lines (as per the recommendation of the always exacting rhythm section), from our Albert Camus/Mark E. Smith collaboration entitled: The Fall. Even from this bit of footage, you can see it’s got ‘hit’ written all over it. Right? by @brigade_junk

Great to be back in One Cat Studio, Crystal Palace, with our fave engineer Jon, recording some songs for release later in the year. All will be revealed.

Here’s some footage of Tom and Michael, not just the best rhythm section in the business, but proving they can get those BV’s down when absolutely necessary.
