There are few greater joys than reading the tracklisting for a new HMHB album for the first time.

National Shite Day for national anthem. 
I really enjoy it, some of their best individual songs on it (“words beginning with K N O, words that end with B H E A Deeeeeeeeee!”) but I don’t go back to the last album very often, it’s a bit more straightforward indie rock than their other albums I always think, there’s not much Descent Of the Stiperstones, Unfortunate Gwatkin, Used To Be In Evil Gazebo etc weird uniqueness. I think that’s why Bridgewater is my favourite just now.

Very excited about this. Shame there’s not another small-town Devon mention on this one though after Totnes and Westward Ho!

Prompted me to see if this was still online:

…needs updating though.

Slightly irked they’ve got no gigs scheduled near the SW. Really wanna see 'em again, now.
Best time I saw them was in Ilminster. Not been to Ilminster before or since.

Oof, epic set that. Would love to hear the cover of Bike!

Yeah they’re irregular visitors to this part of the world. Saw them in Bristol about a week before lockdown (with one of the very worst crowds I’ve ever encountered, sadly).
I live in Bristol and love SWX (hope it’s back soon) but missed this one. What was bad about the crowd?
This is the only time I’ve seen them, 2015 on the Urge For Offal tour. It was great, I’m not a big fan of audience participation but the whole crowd shouting “FUCKIN’ 'ELL, IT’S FRED TITMUS!” tickled me immensely!

Really enjoying this so far.

Same. Awkward Sean goes straight into my top 10 HMHB songs I reckon!

I’d totally forgotten this was out today, excellent! Shame I have to wait until July for the vinyl.

It’s a belter. Somehow they’re bucking the trend of most bands by getting better as they get older (maybe ignoring Urge For Offal).
Nearly spat my tea out at the Cardiacs reference.
