Reverend And the Makers are back to reclaim their crown. Never has real life sounded so good. The tumbledown of cheap drugs, gritty realism, thrilling escapism, sex, and fish and chip suppers, hedonistic living, all night dance music in dank semi legal cellars, and the comedown all soundtracked by great guitar music. It takes a special talent to make magic out of the kitchen sink, to tell the story of the real world with an intimate touch that doesn't sound patronising. Jon McClure of Reverend and the Makers made his name with this kind of writing and the new album sees the band return with their most concise and perfect work yet.
