In a world full of charlatans, honesty and compassion have great value, and it is clear that the Newtown Neurotics, with their new album 'Cognitive Dissidents', have that in spades. Authenticity is a much sought-out ingredient in music, and can only be claimed by a band with a reputation and track record that evokes a trust which their fan base returns with fervent loyalty. The band has over the years released five albums and eight singles (which includes the eerily predictive 'When The Oil Runs Out' and the majestic 'Mindless Violence'). Written and recorded by the band whilst in lockdown, during which the world tottered and swayed from the moorings that had previously anchored our lives and Coronavirus struck down our loved ones, threatening us all, music became, as it always had been, one of the most important things to sustain us through our troubled times. Always uplifting, never downtrodden, this is punk rock at it's finest; this is the Newtown Neurotics music at it's finest. In it's form and content, it destroys complacency and dogma with reason and logic, and contains melodies that stir the head, the heart, and the soul. Steve Drewett- guitar and vocals; Adam Smith - bass and b/vocals; Simon Lomond - drums and b/vocals.
