His persona these days may be that of a stylish rock gent, but as always the former icon of punk
remains politically passionate. This album is nothing short of Glens call to arms to tackle this
current diabolical period of governance. Says Matlock on the “Head On A Stick” single, “Peeved
at the predictable but ultimately pointless political lurch to the right that has happened in the West
over the past few years, one which has been aided and abetted by the vested interests of a client
press, I put pen to paper and plectrum to guitar to compose a song that’s a call to arms, a wake
up alarm and primal open your eyes scream.”
Glen continues, “It might be easy to be wise after the event but some saw where we were headed
and in the words of ‘Pete Seeger’ attempted to hammer out a warning.”
We always thought it can’t happen here but it sadly most definitely has and heads should
justifiably roll…”
Set to be released on April 27, 2023, the new full-length studio album Consequences Coming
will be made available in Digital and specially packaged CD format. The vinyl format is being
made available with a limited edition signed artprint. PRE-ORDER AVAILABLE HERE:
“The album was written and recorded in Britain over the last 18 months or so with a posse of
seasoned but on point performers.” says Matlock. “All done during the debacle that is Brexit and
the rise and fall of the turgid Trump episode in the US. These songs reflect my take on the whole
sorry mess that has ensued.”
Matlock elaborates on the album, “Now the wheels of the music business can sometimes move at
a lugubrious, glacial pace, and sometimes the moment might be lost but seeing no break in the
clouds or clear light at the end of the tunnel, surely the only demand on people’s lips should be
that there are ‘Consequences Coming’ for the fat headed oafs who have foisted their asinine
warped sensibilities on us.”
“The tunes are pretty catchy too…”
