Album Notes & Community Reviews

Often compared favorably to Elvis Costello, Clive Gregson leads Any Trouble through a sharply crafted collection of pub rock and power pop. 'Wheels in Motion' is characterized by its energetic, driving guitars and highly literate, cynical lyricism, remaining a celebrated hidden gem of the Stiff Records catalog.
