1988

PlasticSole

Love this song. I think it was the first one we played together in our first rehearsal back in autumn 1995, when 1988 seemed so long ago!!!

I took this photo on the same trip to London as the cover photo from the previous single, She's On My Mind.  It features my mother, who I noticed was perfectly framed by the London Underground signature tubelike tunnels.  Really nice to be able to feature her in some of the band's artwork, as she is so integral to the lore of the band.

We are proud to introduce to you our 11th song of our 12 Songs in 12 Months campaign, "1988".

It's a musical odyssey that explores history, love, and the passage of time. Musically it traverses the delicate realms of indie, rock, pop, and grunge and crescendos into a full-blown rock jam reminiscent of Lynyrd Skynyrd's free-spirited sound.

Released on the streams on 1st March, it is available from the links below in both the original, sweary, version and also a radio friendly version.
