Attila the Stockbroker

Descripción

Barnstormer 1649 + Newtown Neurotics - ‘Attila’s band, Barnstormer 1649, is a random-seeming assembly of punk bass, neo-prog guitar and Cromwellian military drum, topped with a succession of fiddle, mandola, tenor and alto recorders, Krummhorn (crumhorn), rauschpfeife and sausage bassoon (rackett). It creates an evocative soundscape against which to set a rigorously researched lyrical rip through the 1649 English Civil War chaos and, particularly, the oft-overlooked failure of the English Commonwealth’ (Early Music magazine/website Continuo Connect.)Newtown Neurotics - need no introduction. Kick Out Reform with the clarion call of these eighties agit punkers, still sounding vital and ferocious 4 decades on.
