Due through their own 625 label on October 20, tracks include ‘The Concierge’, ‘Second Avenue’, ‘Heaven’, ‘Words’, ‘The Dark At The Top Of The Stairs’, ‘Tell Me Why’, ‘Hinterland’, ‘She Says I’m A Loser’, ‘A Package From Home’, ‘Huguenot’, ‘Don’t Walk Away’, ‘We Are So Beautiful’, ‘Joe Strummer’ and the title-cut.
Written by Philip Chevron in the wake of the Clash man’s 2002 death, ‘Joe Strummer’ features such poignant couplets as: “We changed the world together with a Fender Telecaster/We were in bands that played it faster/We were the masters of the ghetto-blaster/He can play guitar, be a registrar/Smoke a fat cigar, build a repertoire/Sleep in a motorcar, fish a reservoir/Programme a VCR, be a punk rock Czar.”
Trouble Pilgrim gets a live airing when The Radiators headline Whelan’s, Dublin on November 18 and then provide support when The Pogues pay their traditional Christmas visit to The Point on December 21.
