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 Big Nothing Dog Hours Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Lame-O Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 22nd April 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Big Nothing Dog Hours £22.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Lame-O Records SKU: LMO82 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 22nd April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Black Lips Underneath The Rainbow Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Fire | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 27th January 2023 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Black Lips Underneath The Rainbow £23.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Fire SKU: FIRELP603 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 27th January 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Supersuckers Must’ve Been High Demos Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Improved Sequence | 1LP Released 8th September 2023 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Supersuckers Must’ve Been High Demos £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Improved Sequence SKU: IMP112 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 8th September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Royal Headache Live In America Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | What's Your Rupture | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 21st June 2024 £24.00 Select options Royal Headache Live In America £24.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: What's Your Rupture Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 21st June 2024 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Bouncing Souls, The Ten Stories High Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Pure Noise | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 24th March 2023 £20.00 Select options Bouncing Souls, The Ten Stories High £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Pure Noise Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 24th March 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Petbrick Liminal Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Rocket Recordings | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 23rd September 2022 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Petbrick Liminal £21.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Rocket Recordings SKU: LAUNCH256 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 23rd September 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Killing Joke Lord Of Chaos Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Spinefarm Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 23rd September 2022 £19.00 Select options Killing Joke Lord Of Chaos £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Spinefarm Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 23rd September 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Into It.
