Come On!! Dexy's New Album out soon!!

I thought this event was never going to happen! been hearing of a new album being released since about 2003,and now it looks like it's going to happen and I for one will have it on order

 (hope it comes on Vinyl!)

Absolutely loved 'Searching for the Young Soul Rebels' album and the whole 'Mean Streets' look, liked 'Too-Rye-Ay' but the baggy dungaree's image didn't do it  for me, back on track with 'Don't Stand Me Down' and the Ivy League vision (way ahead of it's time) and now with (hopefully) the new album, the

   40's/'Gangs of New York'imagery rings true,showing that today you can still have that inspiring connection of music and clothes that always work well together but is not dictated by some 'marketing' or 'visual ' consultant but comes from the musicians themselves.

    

 A track from the new album.
