Last summer, we published out top 5 Theatre Royal singles (full review here). Comfortably the hardest article we have ever written. Take nothing away from their albums, their 3rd made out top 30 of the last decade but, they churn out pop magic every time.
As if to mock our choices, they release another impossibly great pop single on 28th February via Vacilando 68 Recordings. It’s no wonder Louder Than War said:
“why the fuck are they not really famous?”
Why not indeed. This is a tale of an old man rejecting the inevitability of life. It’s his life, and he chooses to leave it young at heart!
Melancholic in subject, utterly triumphant in delivery. It’s one last attempt at scoring the winner, one last bet of all in and one last chance of your name up in lights. Death or glory becomes just another story!
The Medway boys have done it again. Be sure to catch them on their live dates this spring/summer.
Live dates:
Saturday 14th March - The Billabong Club, Rochester
Saturday 2nd May - Maidstone Fringe Festival
Saturday 25th July - Faversham Beer Festival
