TV Smith Richard Strange – A DFFRNT WRLD – Double CD Released 05/05/23

Description

Hard on the heels of their critically-acclaimed singles Dont Panic England and A DFFRNT WRLD, TV Smith, frontman of The Adverts and Richard Strange, frontman of Doctors of Madness release A DFFRNT WRLD, a double CD set of songs for the digital age. A collection of fist-pumping, toe-tapping rants by two of Britains finest songwriters. The two met in 1976 and were firm fans of each others bands. They started writing together in 1977, and Record Store Day 2021 saw the release of their sell-out vinyl album 1978, a collection of songs written by the two when their respective bands hit the buffers in that year. Encouraged by the success of the vinyl release, the two discussed the possibility of re-imagining and re-recording the songs in a world that has changed beyond recognition since 1978. When the two musicians first met there was no internet, no mobile phones, no wi-fi, no samplers, no digital recording, no Instagram, no Facebook, no TikTok, no Starbucks, no Covid it is, and was, A DFFRNT WRLD.
