Album Notes & Community Reviews

Fusing traditional fiddle-driven folk with the fervent energy of anarcho-punk, the Brighton outfit's debut provided a voice for the disenfranchised traveler communities of Britain. 'A Weapon Called the Word' brims with left-wing political anthems that quickly mobilized a massive grassroots following.
