Album Notes & Community Reviews

Surviving into the late 90s, the veteran Bradford rock group maintained their fierce independence and politically charged post-punk energy. Self-produced and notably raw, 'Strange Brotherhood' sees Justin Sullivan leading the band through anthemic alternative rock layered with prominent brass and driving, folk-inflected acoustic guitars.
