Explosive comp of the first EPs from Killing Joke's Big Paul Ferguson & crew & his new band is as colossal & ferocious & beautiful & wired to the warped human psyche as you could hope for. Thrilling, brilliant & so good to hear him again 😎👍😉🖤

Another contentious VAR ruling, this time in my favour.
This was a 2015 physical release, but 2014 digitally. My favourite discovery of the last few years will take their place at the top of my 5 albums.
A truly superb debut.
