Our House

Death Of A Rude Boy
Mike: 'Death Of A Rude Boy' is a great track. I wasn't so mad on the rude boy thing - we were never anything to do with rude boys, it was The Specials that were always going on about rude boys, and some of them had a Jamaican connection so it ...

Tarzan’s Nuts
Practically an instrumental with a few lines of banter to kick it all off, it's hardly surprising that these days, the band has a very shaky recollection of how the song came about.

So Alive
Mike: My wife loved 'So Alive' very much as a demo. I like that song, it's heartfelt. Even though we were having some difficulties, at the same time, creatively, Cathal was in a good place and was writing some really good stuff.

Burning The Boats

(You) Cant Keep A Good Thing Down
Chris: I've got so many songs that I've written with Lee that have never seen the light of day, and I didn't want these to get lost. In the end, a lot of mine and Thommo's songs ended up on the 'box set' version of the album. So what happened ...

Mumbo Jumbo

Herbert
Suggs composed Herbert with Mike Barson. Two weeks before "Can't Touch Us Now", the album's release, the song "Herbert" was released as a teaser on 14 October 2016. It was accompanied by an animated lyric video in the style of the album's artwork.

A Town With No Name
Written by Chris Foreman, who was then the king of B-sides, A Town With No Name was the B-side to the single 'Shut Up' and drew inspiration from the lawless settings of classic Spaghetti Western films. The latter's dramatic and haunting ...

Sign Of The Times

If I Go Mad
The track is a magnificent piece of music that should have been the first single. Originally debuted during the lockdown in the one-off show "The Get Up!" in late 2022, it quickly stood out. Suggs' vocal delivery is flawless, likely because he ...

I’ll Complete

Keep Moving

Waltz Into Mischief

Disappear
"Disappear" is a track composed by Suggs and Bedders for the Madness album "Absolutely". It is considered to be their most melodic creation and has a Motown-inspired sound. The song begins with a beautiful piano melody from Barson and ...
