Liam calls this era “a real turning point”. As well as looking outward, it was about this time they began looking inward to how they actually ran their affairs as well. The new album may be coming out through Marshall Records, but in many parts of what they do, Bats have used all their on-the-road training to take on a lot of work at the back end themselves. For a time, he and Mike were booking all of the band’s Canadian touring themselves because “we have literally every promoter’s phone number, so we were just doing it all over text.”…

Speaking to Kerrang! last summer, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong said of the film: “The actors were great. I’ve been seeing a little bit of footage. It’s based on some of our early adventures – of course it’s been tweaked a little bit, but it’s gonna be really fun. It’s kind of a holiday movie because it’s set on New Year’s Eve. It’s got a lot of heart and it’s also really funny. It’s about three young kids that are following their dream to be in a band, and do whatever it takes to travel the country.

Scritti Politti were stationed at the centre of this uncertain moment, having started as a punk-inspired DIY collective in a Camden squat, before graduating to a position in which singer Green Gartside could be heard serenading the philosopher Jacques Derrida on a limited-edition picture disc (it was the flip-side of “Asylums In…
