Punk guitarslinger JAMES STEVENSON is back with a brand new solo album.
A ubiquitous presence on the UK punk and post-punk scene for 45 years, beginning with CHELSEA, Stevenson has trod the boards with the likes of GEN X, THE CULT, HOT CLUB, KIM WILDE, THE INTERNATIONAL SWINGERS, GLEN MATLOCK, HOLY HOLY and THE ALARM. He’s also been a member of GENE LOVES JEZEBEL since 1985.

The album was recorded remotely, with Stevenson laying down guitar, bass and vocals in his own studio before sending it to Alarm drummer Smiley to add his parts. Guest musicians include Stevenson’s schoolfriend and former Chelsea colleague Henry Badowski, Elizabeth Westwood from WESTWORLD, Terry Edwards from THE NJE and The Alarm’s Mike Peters. The album was mixed by Peter Walsh (Simple Minds, The Church, Scott Walker).
