Former Sex Pistols bassist and current Blondie member Glen Matlock has announced the release date of his new album.
Consequences Coming, the first album of Matlock’s since Good to Go in 2018, will release on April 27, 2023.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee will also see his previous two albums, Good to Go and Born Running, re-released on Cooking Vinyl.
New single Head On A Stick is set to drop today to promote the album.
Matlock said: “The album was written and recorded in Britain over the last eighteen months or so with a posse of seasoned but on-point performers.
“All done during the debacle that is Brexit and the rise and fall of the turgid Trump episode in the US. These songs reflect my take on the whole sorry mess that has ensued.
“Now the wheels of the music business can sometimes move at a lugubrious, glacial pace, and sometimes the moment might be lost but seeing no break in the clouds or clear light at the end of the tunnel, surely the only demand on people’s lips should be that there are Consequences Coming for the fat headed oafs who have foisted their asinine warped sensibilities on us.
“The tunes are pretty catchy too.”
In an exclusive interview with Ewan Gleadow, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer revealed that he hopes Consequences Coming moves him away from his Sex Pistols legacy.
Matlock said: “I think what drives me is that I just want to be a contemporary artist, not some bloke who was in The Sex Pistols years ago.
“You know? I think that’s really important to me, to somehow transcend that, and that’s what drives me. It’s a hard act to supersede, but there’s no point in not giving it a go.”
