Glen Matlock is a singer/songwriter/guitarist with a highly-esteemed resume. The original bassist and songwriter of the Sex Pistols, Matlock is responsible for co-penning some of historyâs most iconic songs, âAnarchy In The UK,â âGod Save The Queenâ and âPretty Vacantâ. After his time with The Sex Pistols, Matlock went on to form several well-regarded bands including Rich Kids (with Midge Ure). He has collaborated with such artists as Iggy Pop, and Primal Scream, and is also a highly in-demand player, playing live with the likes of the legendary reformed Faces.
His persona these days may be that of a stylish rock gent, but as always, the former icon of punk remains politically passionate. This album is nothing short of Glens call to arms to tackle this current diabolical period of governance.
Earlier Matlock released âHead On A Stickâ, the first single of the forthcoming album. âPeeved at the predictable but ultimately pointless political lurch to the right that has happened in the West over the past few years,â he explains. âOne which has been aided and abetted by the vested interests of a client press, I put pen to paper and plectrum to guitar to compose a song thatâs a call to arms, a wake up alarm and primal open your eyes scream.â
Glen continues, âIt might be easy to be wise after the event but some saw where we were headed and in the words of âPete Seegerâ attempted to hammer out a warning. We always thought it canât happen here but it sadly most definitely has and heads should justifiably rollâŚâ
âThe album was written and recorded in Britain over the last 18 months or so with a posse of seasoned but on point performers.â says Matlock. âAll done during the debacle that is Brexit and the rise and fall of the turgid Trump episode in the US. These songs reflect my take on the whole sorry mess that has ensued.â
Matlock elaborates on the album, âNow the wheels of the music business can sometimes move at a lugubrious, glacial pace, and sometimes the moment might be lost but seeing no break in the clouds or clear light at the end of the tunnel, surely the only demand on peopleâs lips should be that there are âConsequences Comingâ for the fat headed oafs who have foisted their asinine warped sensibilities on us.â However: âThe tunes are pretty catchy tooâŚâ
