The biggest compliment that I can give the new album is that it would be great to see and hear it done live as a gig – front to end – in full – perhaps with a couple of The Jam numbers as an encore – but in my mind it deserves a Foxton and Hastings show of it’s own… perhaps with a podcast chat with them together after the show to top it all off?. Being known as an active touring band, From The Jam obviously could not tour during the pandemic. However, Hastings has stated that having time to record was ‘quite a relief … We, like everybody else, were concerned about the future and were glad when we were allowed to get in the studio’, with Foxton adding that the process was ‘extremely creative and fun.’ Along with the joyous vibe there’s a level of sophistication that speaks of decades writing well crafted songs, this distillation of influences and talents providing a broad palette of colours. Russell: Yes, we do have some ideas flying around and we would like to thank all the fans for their continued support over the years!
