Folk punk lives. It’s been 30 years since The Men They Couldn’t Hang became John Peel favourites with their debut single Green Fields of France, and they are still in impressively energetic, rousing and angry form on a new album that was funded by a hugely successful Pledge campaign. This is a fists-in-the-air festival band who specialise in full-tilt anthems and shanties, often with a political message, and the best songs here include the furious opener, Raising Hell, featuring fine violin work from guest musician Bobby Valentino, and a glorious, harmonica-driven folk-punk stomp, Fail to Comply. It’s a tuneful set in which music and message sometimes clash: Turquoise Bracelet Bay is a nostalgic mood piece that becomes another grand, sing-along anthem, while Tavarado is a bleakly thoughtful history lesson about murder and rape by English forces in Spain set to a gutsy melody. Their followers won’t be disappointed.
