  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    The Breeding Ground Of Vile is a double album of protest songs and songs to make people think in a world where thought seems to have become an outdated concept. Comprising 24 tracks over two volumes, the album comments on injustice, political incompetence, and senseless conflict, but also carries the powerful message that people still have the power.

    All songs were written by me, but huge thanks are extended to the other musicians on the album for their innovative and intuitive contributions: Kieran Heaney, Emma Perry, Kate Ferris, Matt Steady, Duncan Reed, Kristen (Hatt) Lewis and Matthew Lewis of the Lewinskies, Peter Robinson, and last but by no means least, the man who makes it all happen and our very good friend HeyGamal.

    The album is presented in a cardboard sleeve with my initial design concept being professionalised by the fabulous team at ThinkCr8, Leigh, Greater Manchester. Thanks also to the super talented Frank Roper Photography for the band images.

    Includes unlimited streaming of The Breeding Ground Of Vile - Double Album via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

THE JUDGE

Sometimes
It’s best to leave things behind
Revenge, revenge
Can screw with your mind
Bitterness, bitterness
Can suck us in
But injustices
Need seeing through to the end

I’ll sue you till the ends of the earth
I’ll pursue you for everything you’re worth
I’ll watch you as you lose your crown
I’ll watch as the judge … sends you down

My home
Was taken by a shell
We fled
The vicious flames of hell
We carried
What our arms would hold
We suffered
In the rain and the cold

I’ll sue you till the ends of the earth
I’ll pursue you for everything you’re worth
I’ll watch you as you lose your crown
I’ll watch as the judge … sends you down

Your hired hands
Crammed us into the boats
To row
For our lives and keep them afloat
Enslaved
In countries far away
Beaten
For no reason through a long working day

I’ll sue you till the ends of the earth
I’ll pursue you for everything you’re worth
I’ll watch you as you lose your crown
I’ll watch as the judge … sends you down
