Loaded with eleven personal and political, hook laden anthems, the album was written over the last two years and during the pandemic. Featuring previous singles \u2018Thinking Of England\u2019, \u2018Back To The Rats\u2019, and the title track \u2018Sublime Destruction\u2019, the album was recorded with Andy Brook (who has produced, engineered, and toured with the like of Status Quo, Ginger Wildheart, Wonk Unit, Hayseed Dixie) at The Brook Studios, Wallington, Surrey. From the opening roar of &#8216;Back To The Rats&#8217;, the Sex Pistols riffarama of &#8216;The Rich-Tual&#8217; and the danced-up Stooges grooves of &#8216;Enjoy The Ride&#8217;, through to the Psychedelic Furs like &#8216;Untouchable&#8217; and the epic ode to North London, &#8216;Seven Sisters&#8217;, \u2018Sublime Destruction\u2019, is anything but sublime. Instead, it&#8217;s a huge statement of intent from a band that back up their in-your-face attitude 100% on the stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DESPERATE MEASURES NZ.
