NEW ALBUM OUT NOW
|
Yes ladies and gents, the 4th
SUPERYOB album is finally with us. Nearly 2 years in concept and
construction we finally presented it to thr record company just
in time at the end of February. It has been released by our good
friends Oli and Diana at RANDALE
RECORDS based in the Black Forest area of Southern Germany.
There are 13 songs which encompass the variety of styles of music
which bind the sound of SUPERYOB together - all delivered in our
usual direct and uncompromising fashion. Some people who've heard
it have labelled it a concept album - well, if a personalised
critique of the melting pot of ingredients which has contributed
to and continues to contribute to the fabric of our British society
is a concept then so be it. We're proud of it and hope you will
be too.
The 12 original songs and 1 cover were recorded at SHACK STUDIOS in Essex with the saintly influence of our good friend Grant Matthews at the controls. The tunes were penned by the formidable pairing of Flame/McVicar with Pat assuming the role of Executive Producer. Our customary cover doffs our cap to the work of The Sweet. It is available on CD and also on standard black and coloured vinyl. Thanks to those who helped contribute :- Jim Thompson on fiddle and bazouki. Jeff and Phil McD for backing vocals. Stodge for his work in arranging and demo-ing. Degz for his usual work of genius in translating our ideas into something that looks as good as it does. And of course Grant.... TRACK LIST 1. QUALITY STREET 2. CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME 3. LONDON PRIDE 4. LIVE FOR TODAY 5. CHAMPAGNE SOCIALIST 6. NAVVY IN A KAFTAN 7. BANK HOLIDAY 8. JOHNNY DEMPSTER 9. TIMEBOMB 10. CITIZEN SMITH 11.

HERE ARE SOME BITS OF FEEDBACK WE'VE HAD SO FAR ABOUT THE NEW ALBUM SUPERYOB - Quality Street CD (Randale Recs)
REVIEW OF QUALITY STREET/STEEL CAPPED NATION WEBZINE Here's the rating scale*: 1-no good, not worth my time 2-mediocre 3-alright, has potential 4-good stuff 5-excellent, a classic *1/2 points will be used as needed Randale Rec. The newest release from these English Oi! vets and it's definitely one to wake the neighbors with! What amazes me most about this group's music is their ability to tell a story as casually as if you were sitting right beside them in a pub somewhere and still make a storming racket doing it! This one is loosely themed about life in a working class street as the opening track proclaims "this is the story of people's lives on the street where we live/ I won't mince words, you know me I tell it like it is." The proceeding tracks do just that and mix Franky Flames' piano & keyboard sounds with acoustic and overdriven guitars, drums, bass guitar and on the last track titled "public bar" some fiddle, and other instruments unusual to this style. It all leaves me thinking "ah, just right." You get 13 tracks of stories of London pride, bank holidays, guys we all used to know, and Cockney kings...not a dud one really. This is surely some kind of mile stone in this band's career because I have honestly not heard another record quite like this one. Get this one or be left a hobo in the gutters of Quality Street! 5 -SCN www.randale-records.de - myspace.com/superyoblondonuk QUALITY STREET ALBUM REVIEW BY GARRY BUSHELL Superyob's new album showcases all the band's strengths: great hooks, mob choruses and lyrics about working class life and a lost London. Stand-out tracks are 'Champagne Socialist', 'Cockney King' and the anthemic 'London Pride.' 'Toe Rag' is another cracker, an angry tuneful tirade about lowlife parasites who prey on the people, and the album finishes with Frankie on the Joanna for 'Public Bar' a singalong tavern gem that took me right back to the glory days of the Fox & Firkin… magical (Garry Bushell 4.7.08)

This last one was recorded by our good chum Johnny D on our US tour in 2004 in Providence, Rhode Island, and is actual evidence than Haystacks CAN play the solo in the song and it wasn't studio trickery. ------------------------------------------------ We suggest you head on over to the MERCHANDISE page for a butchers as we have some important news not only about the new album but also about other odds and sods that may be of interest.
