A quarter-century of music-making and 23 albums is not something to be taken lightly. In fact, it’s really quite incredible that this band have yet another single release that retains their trademark sound whilst at the same time sounds fresh.

Who Are You Fighting For? is precisely what you expect from , nothing raucous, nor to bland and the kind of thing your Dad loves to listen to and which you protest to hearing but secretly quite like.

Fans of will already have the album of the same name and will probably have tickets for their December tour. Whilst I can’t see Who Are You Fighting For? gaining the band any new fans, it definitely won’t disappoint their existing ones.

Rating: 3/5

Label: Virgin Records

Words by: Sarah Chapman





Who You Fighting For is ’s 23rd album… Hard to believe, but yep you heard me right!  And 23 albums later, this is a band that is still making remarkable tunes.  do not disappoint.

Relaxed reggae beats with a rootsy live feel, with tracks that are so effortless I feel as though I’ve known them for years!  'Kiss and Say Goodbye', 'Warpoem' and 'After Tonight' are all quality tracks with definite single release potential.


Great love songs with a summer vibe and a good mix of political lyrics that really do hit home a message.  Who You Fighting For is definitely music to chill out and relax to.

Fine wine, maturing with age springs to mind.  25 years together and just get better and better…
