Authentic raw folk from the medway delta
The Singing Loins are back with their tenth album, released in July 2009, proving that genius is nothing more than gritted teeth and enduring patience.‘Unravelling England’ features 12 brand new songs recorded as demos over a period of 18 months on a mate’s cheap digital machine. It was soon apparent that the energy and imperfection they’d captured should be released as it stood.
Chris Broderick & Chris (Arfur) Allen started The Loins as a raw, stripped down acoustic duo in 1990 and soon had Medway legend Billy Childish in their corner. He recorded their first two albums live in his bathroom onto a mono Revox tape machine and released them on his Hangman label. These savage rarities are now swapping hands for big dollars on EBay and are often quoted as major influences by young purveyors of punk/folk.

I just got my copy of this here... An' I need to say how fuckin' brilliant it is, even before I've finished listening to it the first time through.

Agreed - i'm loving it too. Specially great to finally have a copy of 'Since You Were My Girl' which was a demo on the Myspace page for ages.

Ages ago... but it had been ages. They took that one down about a month after it was up. Believe me, I checked back, frequently.
