Son Of The Smith Sean McGowan SKU: XMR143LP Barcode: 5056032313651 17.00 £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Xtra Mile Released Date: 11th May 2018 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Over 13 tracks, ‘Son of the Smith’ – the debut album from rising folk-punk star Sean McGowan – is disarming in its scope, surprising in its erudite tackling of life’s challenges, and strong of voice with just a dab of laddish humour – the aural personification of Sean himself. McGowan could end up soundtracking our social conscience well into next year. The first single taken from the album is ‘Off the Rails’, which sears along with an e-bow guitar drone thrumming underneath while Sean gives the lyrical equivalent of an arm around the shoulder and kiss on the cheek of his mates for being there for him. As a glimpse into ‘Son of the Smith’, it captures his band absolutely ploughing through the parts he wrote for them. In that spirit, ‘Son of the Smith’ captures everything live. Recording at SS2 Studios in Southend with labelmate Sam Duckworth (AKA Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly.) and Jay Malhotra, drums were done without a click-track, each instrument colliding with the rhythm. “It feels urgent, like it could tip over the edge at any point,” Sean says. Sean has a huge year lined up in support of the album. Ending 2016 supporting Billy Bragg through the UK he began the year touring with labelmate Will Varley. March sees him head back to his roots in Ireland for a short tour there, before joining up with Will Varley again for a European run in April. Coinciding with the album release he will play a short headline tour throughout May as well as joining Frank Turner for a main stage Artist Sean McGowan Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label Xtra Mile Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Mind the Doors Cuppa Tea Romance Ain’t Dead Skin & Bone (& Blood & Moaning) Porky Pies Oh My Days Mind your Head Springhill Local Boy Autopilot Life has a Way Off the Rails Mind the Gap Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Sean McGowan and more from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo View Product Quick View Sean McGowan Graft & Grief Rock And Pop | Xtra Mile | 12", EP/Mini Album, Includes Download Code Released 8th September 2017 £10.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sean McGowan Graft & Grief £10.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Xtra Mile SKU: XMREP163LP Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album, Includes Download Code Released Date: 8th September 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Oxygen Thief Confusion Species Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Xtra Mile | 1LP Released 16th November 2018 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Oxygen Thief Confusion Species £15.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Xtra Mile SKU: XMR146LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 16th November 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Fireside Do Not Tailgate Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Dine Alone Records | 180g, 1LP Released 15th April 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fireside Do Not Tailgate £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Dine Alone Records SKU: 2547420336 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 15th April 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Catherine Wheel Happy Days Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Proper Records | 180g, 2LP Released 18th August 2023 £36.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Catherine Wheel Happy Days £36.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Proper Records SKU: UMCLP045 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 18th August 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Death Cab For Cutie Plans Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP Released 22nd January 2016 £32.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Death Cab For Cutie Plans £32.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1314 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 22nd January 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Good Looks Lived Here For A While Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Keeled Scales | 1LP Released 7th June 2024 £25.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Good Looks Lived Here For A While £25.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Keeled Scales SKU: KS067LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th June 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gymslips, The Rocking With The Renees Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Optic Nerve | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes 7" Released 18th November 2022 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gymslips, The Rocking With The Renees £27.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Optic Nerve SKU: OPT4047 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes 7" Released Date: 18th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Thirdface Do It With A Smile Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Exploding in Sound Records | 1LP Released 5th March 2021 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Thirdface Do It With A Smile £18.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Exploding in Sound Records SKU: LPEIS105 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 5th March 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Delta 5 Singles & Sessions 1979-1981 Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Kill Rock Stars | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 1st November 2019 £22.00 - £23.00 Select options Delta 5 Singles & Sessions 1979-1981 £22.00 - £23.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Kill Rock Stars Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 1st November 2019 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Dropkick Murphys Blackout Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Epitaph | 1LP Released 18th August 2017 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dropkick Murphys Blackout £18.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Epitaph SKU: 8714092044614 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th August 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Seaway Fresh Produce Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Pure Noise | 1LP Released 19th April 2019 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Seaway Fresh Produce £18.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Pure Noise SKU: PNE2351 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th April 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Start again
