Birmingham’s Peel session perennials The Nightingales should be profitable post-punk survivors, a Fall or a Gang of Four, with submerged pop sensibilities that mean you can yodel along yourself.
Is their balti bowl of rock and roll, Beefheart twang, throbbing krautfunk, and Robert Lloyd’s meticulous pop-cultural lyrics too hot for you?
Album eight explodes with Bullet For Gove, and peaks with His Family Has Been Informed, an arch glam terrace stomp through the UKIP heartland.
Prophets without honour.
Again.
