Inflammable Material

Product Information

After six years and four albums, they split up. They re-formed five years later, in 1987. Despite major personnel changes, they are still touring and recording. In 2014, the band released their tenth studio album and a world tour followed its release. Jake Burns, the lead singer, is the only member to have been with the band during all its incarnations, but in March 2006, original bass guitarist Ali McMordie rejoined them following the departure of bass player Bruce Foxton after fifteen years.

The environment we grew up in probably did give the album some extra edge to people outside Northern Ireland but from our perspective it didn’t as that was the only thing we knew.

So "Here We Are Nowhere" is about boredom. "Breakout" is about trying to find your own way in life. "Barbed Wire Love", which contains a great doo-wop break, covers trying to find love across the troubled divide. "Rough Trade" is about the disillusionment of getting a record deal.Filename H:\My Rips\Stiff Little Fingers\Stiff Little Fingers - Original Album Series (2014) [FLAC] {5CD Parlophone 2564636166}\CD3\04 - Barbed Wire Love.wav I have to put myself in the shoes of a fan and the only way I can do that is to think of Newcastle United, not that we’re in as big a mess as they are by any stretch! I sit there watching them, thinking “they won’t buy anyone in this transfer window and Rafa Benitez is going to leave”. Why? It doesn’t really make any difference to me, I’ve still got to get up in the morning and pay my mortgage at the end of the month, it shouldn’t really matter. But it does and that’s the way you have to look at things to do with the band, it really matters to people.

He encouraged us to write more and more about our own lives and having that sort of validation from someone who wanted to write with me made a huge difference. Gordon gave me the finished lyric of Suspect Device on the second day I met him and said “do you think you can do something with this?” I’ve said before it was like a ‘60’s Sci Fi shows where the rest of the room disappears and all I could see was that piece of paper and I knew exactly what I could do with it. It needed trimming as it was something like 16 verses long. I don’t think Gordon had grasped the idea of the 3-minute punk song at that stage. So we put Suspect Device together and I’d written Wasted Life around the same time so it was lift off for us.
