Our Take

Ah, Stackridge! The quintessentially English band that has been churning out whimsical tunes since the 70s. Their latest offering, "Friendliness (Expanded Edition)," is a delightful romp through the meadows of folk-rock, with a touch of prog thrown in for good measure.

From the opening track "Lummy Days" to the closing number "Humiliation," Stackridge showcases their signature blend of quirky lyrics, infectious melodies, and tight harmonies. The expanded edition treats us to previously unreleased bonus tracks that only add to the album's charm.

Songs like "Sliding Down the Razorblade of Life" and "The Road to Venezuela" transport the listener to a world where the sun always shines, and the birds sing in perfect harmony. It's like taking a nostalgic trip back to a simpler time when music was all about having a good time and not taking yourself too seriously.

Stackridge's ability to blend genres seamlessly is a testament to their musical prowess, and "Friendliness (Expanded Edition)" is a testament to their enduring legacy. So if you're in the mood for some feel-good tunes that will make you smile from ear to ear, look no further than this gem of an album. Cheers to Stackridge for keeping the spirit of British music alive and well!
