The most ridiculous band name ever, even worse than “blossoms”

"They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved."

GREAT INTERVIEW

Love the way they credit all members with writing.a lesson for all bands there

Legend. Last time I saw them they were touring for the 40th anniversary of The Crack and played the album thru from start to finish; Blew the roof off the venue, oustanding live band ❤

❤❤❤

Never had a fuckin real fight in your life

Had scared to dance as a 12yr old as a birthday present. To this day my favourite band.

Spot on with the gut instinct feeling, sometimes you just know, can't get on with everyone because that's just not reality.

CARNT belive its only 3 months since uploaded as I fancied to listen to a interview, don't know much about this band

Would give her one 😅

This is the best interview I've ever heard with Ian Brown, really insightful and informative - thanks for sharing

He has a wife !?

I love the vocals on BRN.

It was a shame that Poly's ego was too fragile to accommodate Lora's sax play. Her sax added a unique dimension to the look & sound of the band.

*Lora Logic.

The goat

Loved NMA since 82/3 but sadly lost touch after Thunher & Consolation due to parenthood responsibilities. Was last tour I saw. Ghost of Cain was soooo good. Knew Joolz's cousin Cherry and we worked 2gether at local civil service dept. We we'ld chat and share our respect of Justin and the band. So hope to see you again soon Justin. NMA best band ever IMO and saw ye all throughout the 80s in and around London as squatting and too skint to travel around Blighty to see you which I so wanted. Still skint but not as bad. Peace love and lite

He is a lovely guy met i Him a while back in northampton museum. Loved his talk to.

There is God and there is the peaky blinders plus the stone fukin roses and oasis happy Mondays Rkid lucky boro fc liveforever 🎉

Terrible audio

Most bands will have a few breaks from recording and playing gigs, back in the late 70s/80s we were so spoilt with bands playing gigs around the uk, i did regret not seeing The Smiths, but in 2000, i got the Strip ( acoustic album) + 2 new tracks Road to San Remo & Indian

Yea the coral are a fucking beautiful band ....

I Belive In Choices!

One of the best interviews i've ever seen, as a top fan of Stew's .. watching this inspired me to go to the lowry and see basic lee 2024 And i ended up in the audience and being recorded in the sky tv version.. Yeah i worked out its the last nights of the tour and media city is a brilliant place to record it.. all from watching this .. ? Yes. Totally a top fan .. ive seen this twice now for example . See you at Man Wolf I need a copy of content provider signed 😅 for my collection Oh i looked up f k twiggs expecting a male rapper .. and i thought oh he made a mistake.. oh well nobody is perfect .. seems. They Are 😊

😊

Poly's daughter looks just like Poly!

I'm a tad confused by Mr Coughlan, on one point he refers to individulism as being a bad thing, yet if your a pop/rock artist, idividualism is king?? So what? We should all be in a socialist/communist ytopia? Where medicracy rains supreme? I don't get this hyporacy, all plumers are the same? Fuck no, some tool makers are better than others, the natural way of things. (Mr Starmers tool making leaves something to be desired). He get anoyed because some one doesn't wear a mask? What is this but bolshovik nonsense? I love Cathals music and especially his lyrics, but please, indivulism is the spark in all of us, and should be celibrated, not condemed as some selfish whim. I'm starting to wonder if some of my admiration for some artists/musicians is wasted on those who live in cloud cukoo land. RIP Cathal Coughlan. Thanks for the video Mr Robb

I see both John Robb and Hooky regularly around town in Manchester

Personne fascinante..visage tellement expressif..brillant

Personnage fascinant.. Rare

🌻

You nailed it. I've always said that the band had a lead guitarist, lead bass lead drummer and a genius lead keyboard. Thanks

Always got that with Justin or NMA. Never picking sides, looking at the bigger picture instead. It's why I've loved them since 1992.

How did he come up with all those crazy fantastic lyrics

I discovered X-RAY SPEX on Don Letts "The Punk Rock Movie", in the 1980s. Around this time I was a huge Billy Idol fan and I discovered his old punk rock band Generation X which was why I purchased this movie on VHS back in the day and I just followed the rabbit hole. I heard X-ray Spex on this movie and it took years to find their music and there was no Internet back then. Fortunately in the 1990s punk rock started getting more notices and the bands albums that I was trying to get started getting easier to find. X-ray Spex was definitely one of the best out there. It's weird that the Sex Pistols were the band that all of the other bands (on the English side) aspired to be like, but groups like X-ray Spex, The Clash, Generation X and groups like that actually knew how to playtheir instruments (no disrespect to the Pistols intended), whereas the Sex Pistols were definitely the loudest.

The guy is a complete fraud with a put on accent. He's now become mates with David Icke spreading fake conspiracy nonsense.

Terrific band.

One of my favourite singers and bands ever.

i love wild swans , from Brasil

Rozz Williams/Christian Death 👌

Poly was committed to a nut house after she told her mama she'd seen a flying saucer. Moral of the story: If you see a UFO, don't tell anyone, FFS.

Poly chucked her out of X Ray Spex for being a black witch. Weren't you scared?

Curious to hear the rest of the new album.....

Such a down to earth guy, really hope they keep doing what they’re doing, love New Model Army!!

What a lovely man. Talking about the lack of intensity when comparing JD to NO.

Inherited trauma is an acknowledged condition, these days. I find I want to know more about Ian’s parents. Both were Irish. My Father was Irish , but perhaps a little younger. His family was troubled (but mostly silent) about the War of Independence. It was close to these peoples experiences and worth exploring in terms of the lyrics.

1. Walk on By 2. Hanging Around 3. No More Heroes 4. Nice 'n' Sleazy 5. Tank 6. The Man They Love to Hate 7. Four Horsemen 8. Golden Brown 9. Toiler on the Sea 10. European Female

Thanks for this; it was a real trip down memory lane, and I loved hearing some of Xray Spex's songs again. Poly's lyrics were great fun.

New song is very average compared to their earlier material.
