New single ‘Hand Me My Backside’ out today on flexi 45. Some people say they are cheap, shitty & sound awful but others actually like the band & this finds the Fab Five making a racket with all of our usual panache. When they're gone that'll be it thenightingales.lnk.to/HMMB

Morning soundtrack which reminds me of the time I was on 6 Music’s ‘Trunk of Punk’ & they wouldn’t play my pick of Swell Maps’ ‘Midget Submarine’ because of the word midget … which is just referring to the Submarine 🤦🏻‍♀️!
