With the transport sector taking industrial action in both their country and ours, what better a time to give full attention to one of the best train content heavy (post?) punk rock-ish records of the last few years.
London's Hygiene rolls small everyday grievances and big structural social issues into a fun and coherent LP. Topics range from Jimmy Savile, IMF imposed austerity, free market deregulation, crypto-libertarianism, bodybuilding supplements and three (yes, three!) songs about public transport.
Highly recommended for fans of Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Alternative TV, The Fall, Desperate Bicycles, economic sociologist Wolfgang Streeck and trains. - Nic, June 2022
