Newcastle, UK’s IRKED have released their long awaited debut full length, The Grievance, on vinyl, CD and digital formats via Wrong Speed Records. The Grievance is born out of a love of playing live and the noble desire to rip it up. However, as with all the best party music there’s a mission statement too. As the title suggests, there is spleen being vented here, just as when Huggy Bear vented, or Dead Kennedys vented, or X-Ray Spex vented. The album is a fourteen track hate letter to the world with no holds barred, and no bars held, that addresses personal politics, inner-circle politics, work politics, and class politics.
