Product Description Chumbawamba is back, armed with acoustic guitars, accordion and trumpet, five-part harmonies, a bucketful of attitude and a new 25-track album called The Boy Bands Have Won. It actually has a much longer title than that (See cover for full title), but let s call it by its pseudonym. The new album is a collection of such ideas; some are just passing thoughts, others are fully-formed songs. It s gentle and warm in tone, but caustic in intent. It plays with culture, with the idea of recycling our own culture. We all have this vast history of stuff , musical and historical and in art and sport and politics and a million other things. And it s all there for the taking. Featuring guests the OysterBand, Roy Bailey, Robb Johnson, Barry Coope and Jim Boyes... and a hundred others, give or take a few. Review We should be grateful for the Chumbas. Moving on from that anarchic post-punk phase and the bestselling single 'Tubthumping', they have eased across to the folk scene and reinvented themselves yet again - this time as a classy, low-key harmony band writing inventive, intelligent songs. --Robin Denselow, The Guardian (UK)
