ARGY BARGY. The likes of us CD

New studio album by one of the leading bands of today's UK street music scene, fronted by Watford Jon with Cock Sparrer´s Daryl Smith on guitar.

      THE GUV'NORS

THE GUV'NORS are almost done recording their new album. It's taken a while to finish this album (that's what comes out of trying to juggle music with crummy jobs and a bad economy), but it will be worth the wait! The album will be called "The pint of no return", and will contain 14 tracks of crushing rock'n'roll anthems Oi!-punkrock style!

The band has had a few celebrities joining them on this one... First of all the drummer from the legendary Slade, Don Powell, plays the drums on one of the tracks...a Guv'nors cover version of the old B-side "Raining in my champagne". Then they also got the company of Mort Harder and Hell-Eye from garage fuzzkings The Defectors, Steen from The Zero Point, JP from The Outfit and Timmy from Blunt to name a few. The album will be released by Pablo from TRUE FORCE RECORDS on vinyl, but the band is still looking for a serious label to join him and them on this adventure and release the CD version...
