Yes! After a couple of years the Swingin’ Utters resurface and I find myself asking how I got by all this time without some new Utters tunes. It’s not a new album hence the ‘b-sides and bullshit’ subtitle but hey, I’m not complaining! As far as collections of 7 inch singles, album B-sides, compilation songs and covers (obviously these guys are serious Cock Sparrer fans) go, this one is definitely way up there. Then again, I didn’t expect anything less. The album closes with a couple of acoustic takes on Utters songs and after a whopping 32 songs, it’s finally over. Like I said, it’s not a ‘new’ album but it certainly does feel like one and it’s more than good enough to fill in the time between studio albums.

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
