Loco Live at Hope Mill Studios

by A Certain Ratio

supported by

sidigi A quality recording by a resurgent ACR. Recent shows have been packed out, a refreshing change to their first gig in London for 10 years at Under The Bridge in 2014. Stand out tunes are Supafreak, Berlin and Taxi Guy - exceptional bass, tight as funk drums layered with guitars, trumpet et al and an extra pinch of spice to make this recipe a firm favourite. There is also a lovely shout out for the much missed Denise Johnson.
Get the funk in? YEAH!

phat boy quim I saw ACR years and years ago at the Up in Downsville album launch mini gig at HMV Manchester. After they played three songs Denise said "was that the sound check?" it wasn't but they still all sounded great. she was a true member of the ACR family indeed. RIP
Denise.

A work of considerable power and subtlety. Certainly a grower but I was hooked on first listen and it seems to improve on subsequent plays. Well done to everyone involved and good luck for the future, hopefully a long and successful future. simon1956smith

This is very close to what I heard/felt everytime we visited the grandparents in Runcorn. Ominous dread. Bleak dystopia. Concrete and terraced houses. Plus the air smells! MonkeyMajiks
