Lace up your bovver boots, 'cause Cock Sparrer's blasting their last streetpunk symphony with 'Hand On Heart'! Surprise, surprise! Post-2017's 'Forever,' who’d have thought they'd sling more tunes? But apparently ockdown gave 'em time, and man, did they slam-dunk their grand finale.
Picture this—10 spanking-new tracks, classic Sparrer vibes, and guess what? A few curveballs thrown in for kicks. I have a feeling we'll get trademark hooks that snag you, tunes you'll hum for days, and those mob choruses that scream "We're Sparrer, baby!" And here's the twist—string arranger Simon Dobson from Bring Me The Horizon and Mike Oldfield, adding that touch of class, giving you those neck-tingling moments.
But hold up! The studio story gets juicier! Normally, their studio cash waved bye-bye at the pub where they'd "kick it back and have another one..." but not this time. James Bragg and guitarist Daryl Smith helmed the ship, and guess who sealed the deal? None other than Grammy winner Kevin Tuffy, UK's Mastering Engineer of 2022, putting the cherry on top, making this what promises to be the crispest, punchiest record in their whopping 52-year career!
