“The Clash and The Sex Pistols are our biggest inspirations – we’ve gone back to source” explains bass player and lyricist Nick Wire. The first single from the album is ‘Your Love Alone Is Not Enough’ – a duet with Nina Persson of The Cardigans, of whom the band have been long time fans. The song was recorded in New York earlier this year and is described by Wire as ”Keith Moon drums, Pete Townsend power cords, sonically similar to Hole’s ‘Celebrity Skin’ - ‘Everything Must Go’ era – euphoric rock... lyrically a twoway conversation in my head about love, religion, democracy and Richey”.
Following the release of solo albums last year from both James Dean Bradfield and Nicky Wire the band embarked on writing for this new album and found themselves listening back to their earlier albums Everything Must Go and Generation Terrorists, Nicky Wire describes the sessions as, ‘reconnecting with all the things that made us so excited back then’.
