Description
Fronted by creative lynchpin Billy Sullivan, this startling three-piece (augmented by three other musicians when playing live), have cemented a loyal fanbase since their inception some five years ago and alongside Sam Long, bassist and drummer Matt Johnson whilst initiating album sales in excess of 20k and a tour itinerary approaching nearly three hundred gigs.

Life Worth Living is a contrasting melting pot of unadulterated joy and melancholy, laughter, tears, frustration and peacefulness. Quiet and introspective moments collide with loud and angry times and no less powerful. At its heart is a sense of hope that things can be better, the title reflects that aspiration. That’s an important message, no matter what time it is!

Produced by Simon Dine, who was behind the desk for Paul Weller’s '22 Dreams' and 'Wake Up The Nation' amongst a varied CV - has harnessed the undoubted vibrancy and swagger of the band’s live show, helping create an ambitious album – a vehicle for the talents of Sullivan, Long and Johnson. From the infectious brass-infused opener, 'Start All Over Again', the Nutty Boys-esque title track 'Life Worth Living' to 'Tear This Place Right Down' bathed in soul overtones, the ballad-like wonder of 'How Could I Lie To You?' to the ska riffage of single '(Just Won’t) Keep You Down' and the magnificent finale of 'Make It Through Each Day'.

Tracklist
1. Start All Over Again
2. It Can’t Be Done

4. Tear This Place Right Down!
5. How Could I Lie To You?
6. Kings & Queens
