“The powerless are the problem, as if, as if … it’s the same old riff.” The cult Birmingham post-punk band fronted by Robert Lloyd return with a catchy, caustically witty number inspired by UK national unrest, David Bowie’s Queen Bitch rekindling class war struggles and other repeating events, heralding their next album, The Awful Truth, out via Fire Records. Continuing a late-career bloom of brilliant releases that have the original bite of something between Captain Beefheart and The Fall, it’s their latest since 2022’s The Last Laugh.
