I would describe the songs as mark e smith sings louden wainwright... or louden wainwright sings mark e smith!

“JD Meatyard offers proof that thrilling, visceral, directly political music is still available for those wishing to scratch beneath the surface. While last year’s collection, ‘Taking the Asylum’, had been John Donaldson’s most understated and reflective album, his live performances as captured on this release see him in ferocious form”.
