Hi Been a fan of KJ since they started and this is perhaps their best albumm. OK, no thumping drums but no worse for that.Jaz's vocals shouty and melodic, guitars as unique as ever and the bass thundering. A good variation of styles and tempos. For me the standout tracks are Ladbroke Grove and Raven King.
the Absolute respect special edition album has some great versions of KJ classics as well.

Yeah they've been telling it how it is for 30 long years and that one line you've given us so fucking relevant to the current climate

I don't know whether this date was on there when you posted Gizz, but it looks like they're playing London as well.
