The Liverpool ‘Kitchencore’ band follow up their critically received album 'England’s Up For Sale' in 2020 with their most commercial and musically ambitious album to date. Full of razor-sharp lyrics and musical twist and turns, 'What’s On The Inside Has To Come Out' is brimming with energy and ideas.
Whereas the previous album was an observational, sparse, post-punk style snap-shot of a Brexit Britain, the new record has a more personal style with witty tales of northern, working class life in songs like 'I’m Shy', 'Mum & Dad', 'Money & Art' and the title track 'What’s On The Inside Has To Come Out', that you can easily relate to.
Through the bands constant gigging and riotous theatrical live shows, they have gained a big reputation as a great live act with festivalflyer.com including them in their list of the top festival bands in the UK. However, behind the fun and theatrics, the band have always had something serious to say.
The album has their usual garage punk and artrock sound fused with post-punk, folk and even gospel elements for a more eclectic record that should please their hardcore fans and those new to their lo-fi but accessible sound. This is a joyous, life-affirming record for the post-Covid era, by the ultimate people’s band... This is Kitchencore!
