Stuffy of Stuffy and the Fuses? I have a 7" somewhere. Was meant to put them on one time but I don't think it happened in the end.

New one is up on bandcamp. Bit more restrained than I would like (eg. Cursed) but some great bits. Only listened once so far though.

a restrained S6 !!? blimey.that said, have they ever bettered 'cabin fever' ? as time goes on, its clear that they peaked with that album - a genuinely brilliant album.not got the new one yet, but a few more glasses of wine, and it will probably be on order.

should anyone feel the urge, then there is a free compilation :

yes, i still love this lot more than i probably should.
after 25 years they have decided to give every album away for free.

even the latest release has an absolute stomping S6 track on it, 'as we take the stage', that is as good as anything off their previously mentioned classic 'cabin fever', so, they clearly still have it.
