Newtown Neurotics first album for nearly forty years

 Hi all,

Yeah I know, a stupid long time to get around to writing and recording a new album. Especially as we have been back in existence for ten years now.

The reason for this is that we have never considered ourselves as a proper evolving band during that time.

Our songs were still as relevant as they were in the 1980's so why write new material? We felt that each gig may be our last but it became evident that there was a great demand for what we were doing so we carried on.

When Trump came to power in the United States, and then the arrival of Brexit and Covid, it seemed that the band needed to reflect the world as it is now and so I started writing again.

It is not a great time to be recording and planning to put out a new album when the music industry has been destroyed by Brexit, helped along by Covid, but it has to be done.

We have a documentary film made about us called 'Kick Out' which was shelved when 'Lockdown' occurred the first time, and as yet, things have not turned a corner with the virus to allow us to plan documentary, new release, tour. But we will do these things, it is just gonna take some time.

So today, we go into the studio to begin our first day of recording on our new album: 'Cognitive Dissidents'

Wish us luck!
