Land Of The Overdose

Vinyl LP pressing. 2018 release from the British singer/songwriter and former leader of punk legends The Adverts. Land Of The Overdose is his seventeenth album of new material, and in true D.I.Y. style the first that he has played and recorded completely on his own. His punk roots are evident in every groove. The album was produced by fellow countryman Jon Caffery, renowned for his work with Sex Pistols, Einsturzende Neubauten and Die Toten Hosen among many others. The opening track has barely begun before TV Smith starts to ask the big questions: "Do you remember when you had a voice? Do you remember when you had a vote?" Forty years after founding his career in the heady days of the Sex Pistols and The Damned, TV Smith's story is far from over. He is still one of the most observant and artistic chroniclers of the changes in society and their impact on ordinary people's lives. And one thing is clear: as long as there is inequality and a lack of true values in the world in general - and his country in particular - TV Smith will continue to sing about the Land Of The Overdose.
