Chumbawamba - Get on with It: Live

Anyone who's been to a Chumbawamba show recently will testify to the importance and relevance of releasing this live album. The band engage and play off the audience and approach radical music from a warm and communal standpoint. Aware that so many bands just get on stage and play, refusing to interact with the audience, Chumbawamba are determined to make gigs inclusive, not alienating. Live albums are often water-treading affairs. Stop-gaps. Contract fulfilling, going-through-the-motions lazy recordings by bands looking for a year out of the studio. Let's pause and take stock. People at gigs asked if they could buy the album which sounded most like tonight, and the band felt that, no, none of their albums caught the show as it stands today. It's pop, folk, acapella, politics, humour, four-part harmony and five-part anger. It's singalongs and hymns, throwaways and big choruses, old favourites, covers and unreleased songs.Tracks: Buy Nothing Day / A Stitch In Time / Song On The Times / Hard Times Of Old England / By & By / Jacob's Ladder / Timebomb / Homophobia / William Francis / Learning To Love / Digger' Song / On eBay / Hanging On The Old Barbed Wire / Bella Ciao.
