COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Excellent and Relevant submitted by Meginator on August 23, 2017, 1:27pm This recording of traditional English political songs is very nicely done. The band's harmonies are well constructed and their vocal talent is top quality, which is good given that the album is primarily a cappella, and the album has a consistent feeling and message. This is an important project and I'm glad that Chumbawamba decided to put this album together.
