Life's A Riot With Spy Vs. Spy

Release Date: June 18, 2022

Billy Bragg's Life's A Riot With Spy Vs. Spy from 1983 strips folk protest songs down to just voice, electric guitar, and righteous anger. The raw urgency of Bragg's political folk-punk creates an intimate yet confrontational listening experience that feels like a one-man rally in your living room.

Standout Tracks

• The Milkman of Human Kindness: Bragg's signature blend of personal politics and romantic frustration
• To Have and Have Not: The album's most direct political statement delivered with stark guitar accompaniment
• A New England: The tender closer that became one of his most covered songs

Mood: defiant, intimate, urgent, raw
