Boomtown is the exciting culmination of several long years of writing, performing and perfecting songs in the dynamic punk-pop-ska-folk fusion that fans have come to expect. It is the first album to feature in full the current (and best looking) band line up and is a sincere representation of the energy, tight synchronisation and humour of their live shows (minus the Banjo playing!)

The album includes the much requested title-track, Boomtown, a reggae-driven anthem about the Black Country town of Coseley, as well as both of the current singles Fascist in the Workplace (a song beloved of subordinate employees everywhere) and The Ballad of Chairman Pat, another ska-punk soaked blast of observation and humour. Other tunes tell stories of politics, the lives of great women and the day to day humorous and satirical tales of friends, life experience and the world around us. There is also a song about a bass player with fat fingers . . .

I thought it was about time to release some solo acoustic music as I already play at least half my gigs as Shotgun Marmalade Solo. Six sparkling new tracks on an EP that even features some of my mandolin playing! Hope this is the first in a series of Punkoustic solo EPs. Punkoustic: Often punk, always acoustic. Dedicated to Darren Gamble for the Fun filled years. Love Sid. X

Ten banging tracks (to my mind anyway - Ha Ha!!)) in the indie-punk-ska-folk-rock stylee (have I left anything out??) that should have seen the light of day in August last year but for . . . world plague, drummers leaving, arsing around etc. Recorded and finished in my own wasteland workshop (The Mended Drum) Some older songs, some new, some re-invented but all originals by Sid (except ‘The Blackleg Miner’ which is traditional but arranged by yours truly) Features bass work by superbloke Ryan Peters.
