"A Very British Coup" - Jah Wobble featuring Mark Stewart

Rock eternity Mark Stewart, Keith Levene, and Andrew Weatherall...
This song represents a truly inspired collaboration of post-punk grandees who have come together to create the first great song of 2020, "A Very British Coup." It is a growling political broadside spat out in response to the conservative campaign to pull the United Kingdom out of the European Union without ever mentioning the B word.
Led by Jah Wobble (PiL, Invaders of the Heart), "Coup" was recorded with renowned producer Martin "Youth" Glover (Killing Joke, The Orb, Brilliant) and features the legendary bassist's former PiL band-mates Richard Dudanski on drums and guitarist Keith Levene together with vocals from The Pop Group’s frontman Mark Stewart. Andrew Weatherall and Nina Walsh add loops to the proceedings. Released to coincide with Britain’s official departure from the European Union on January 31 2020. “The bass don pulls together his own post-punk Avengers for this anti-Brexit anthem and it’s a riot” Q magazine. “Wobble’s booming dub bass and Levene’s classic guitar skree sounding like a 21st century ‘Metal Box’ - this is already one of the tracks of the year” John Robb / Louder Than War Magazine.
This U.S. CD EP features four versions of the title song including an exclusive dub version by Youth not available elsewhere.

And to make things even worse Youth and the rest of Killing Joke lost Geordie Walker late last year. I was shocked.

[@alexanderSydneyOz]

Life experience suggests it is incredibly difficult for a bunch of old chaps in their 60s, to sound fresh with new musical compositions. And that track sounds like it could have been made in their 20s. Outstanding.

[@80ProofRecordsMediaServices]

Please tell your friends. We hope to get these amazing blokes to make a full album.

So true. Please spread the word on this amazing music. We are hoping they do a full album.

[@twistedspanner]

This song keeps popping up all the time.. if it wasn't for these guys we probably wouldn't be making music ourselves. This is the best of the cream de la crem of da post punk players there was then and now. I seriously think they should consider doing an full album together while they're still with us. It can't be worse than PiL's last two albums. Come on we'll all pay in advance. Fuck pledge music.

[@francissreckofabian01]

Even the Devil sold his soul! One of the best lines ever. Wish I'd thought of it (I might steal it anyway) I just wanted to listen to some music and I have Jah Wobble's "I could Have Been a Contender" sitting on my desk but I was too lazy to hook up a CD player so I went to KZbin. I just ordered this CD. Only 2 left. (the P&H were more expensive than the actual CD but worth it on the strength of this track).

[@phillipgraham6382]

[@michaelwilson2340]

Keith Levene is highly underrated as a guitarist here in the U.S. and it's a shame.

[@80ProofRecordsMediaServices]

So true, and the way Keith kicks in on this song is so deft and jagged. It has a tossed off feel that conveys both punk attitude and master craft level skill. Please tell your friends about this EP if you are willing and able.

[@saraivatoledo1842]

" Here in the US ? " ... just as ignored in Europe ( he´s that kind of person who simply wasn´t cut out to promote himself or handle any rock star type of success which has always eluded him one way or another anyways... )
