听
They say: "We don't profess to be political, or that we are saying anything brand new, but we write songs about what we see going on and it works for us. The same stuff that affected '70s bands is still affecting people like us today, except not many bands seem to wanna complain or write about it. We do."

We loved them so much, they not only performed for us at this year's Worcester Music Festival - but helped us to switch on the city's Christmas lights, too!
