ITEM OVERVIEW
Chumbawamba's homage to the men and women who never had obituaries in the broadsheets; those who never received titles or appeared in as an entry in "Who's Who." This is an album that conjures up the tragedies and triumphs of the people who shaped England: its citizens. It's guaranteed to sway the listener, break hearts and encourage hope... just as those who inspired the songs by changing history.
"Putting this album in the public's gaze again is doing everyone a service." —Chris Nickson, All Music Guide
Formed in a squat in Leeds, England in 1982, the media-proclaimed "anarchist pop group" Chumbawamba has been anything but a typical "pop group." They've been criss-crossing genres and raising hell via their benefit shows, topical lyrics, and general activist ways in a most "unpop" manner for over 20 years. Never mind their improbable fame that came about from their international hit "Tubthumping" in 1997... Whether they are in electric or acoustic form, this group remains true to their beliefs and still graces their audience with their righteous message, all intertwined in those instantly familiar Chumbawamba four-part harmonies and catchy choruses.
