Static on the Airwaves


Static on the Airwaves is the tenth studio album by folk-punk rock band the Levellers.
The "iTunes Deluxe Edition" contains two bonus tracks and two videos. Two singles were released from the album, 'Truth Is' and 'The Recruiting Sergeant', with single edits of 'We Are All Gunmen' and 'After The Hurricane' being made available as part of the 2017 Special Edition release.

Reception

Ian Abrahams of Record Collector said the topic of war gives the album a "clear sense of conscience and purpose". He thought it was an improvement on its predecessor: "what they've got here is a dynamic play-it-loud maelstrom of sawing fiddles and firebrand lyrics".
