The Stranglers - Payday (R̶a̶t̶ Track Chat)

Welcome to the first of our new R̶a̶t̶ Track Chat, where we get a sneaky listen and behind the scenes insight from JJ, Baz and producer Louie Nicastro on tracks from the new album Dark Matters, starting with Payday. Who remembers hearing this being road-tested on the Back On The Tracks tour?
