Black Country New Road

If the new (live) album is anything to go by, gonna be something special on the West Holts! One of my fav records of the year so far.

Yeah, it's just a few miles up the road from me. I used to drive it everyday when I worked in Wolverhampton.

Anyway, the namesake are gonna smash it 🤪

Yup....if you've ever been to Ikea Birmingham then you'll almost certainly have been on it.

Ants from Up Here was one of my best albums of last year, and loved For the First Time, only one listen in to this live one and felt it pretty boring aside from the first song. I'll give it another go. Though even with Isack playing I didn't enjoy them live when I saw them before.

I'm looking forward to seeing them. The live album is excellent.

I don't rate the new live album. I'm just not clicking with it like Ants From Up There. If there's nothing else on and it's convenient, i'll head over to watch them out of intrigue.

Saw them in December and really enjoyed the show, so I'm looking forward to see them again at West Holts!

Still have to give the live album a spin though.

I think I'm going to need to give the new album another listen. 

I wasn't familiar with them before they were announced (I'm Canadian, don't think they have really broke out here at all) and was loving their stuff, and then found out about the singer change and listened to the new album and just couldn't get into it.  I loved their original singer, and some of the songs with him, and if I understand correctly, they don't do any of those songs anymore.

Saw them at Green Man last year which was one of their first gigs without Isaac and they were superb.

Looks like they debuted some new songs in Japan.

Exactly that. None of those earlier songs have had an airing since Isaac left. Kind of a new band now.
