They followed it with Partygate polemic Party At No. 10, which they tried to debut with a busking performance outside the nation’s most infamous rave venue - before being dissuaded by Downing Street’s armed police.

Like movie director Guy Ritchie, a global force who remains true to his Brit roots, the Hastings quartet are determined to hold tight to their homegrown values and beliefs, and to take their songs of working-class pride to the broadest possible audience. Says frontman Jack Wilson about lead single ‘Let’s Get To Work’, “It’s a motivational song about getting a job done yourself,“ an important sentiment when support networks are eroding; it’s classic Kapichi, music and message combining to powerful effect, setting the mood for an album where the snarling, razor-sharp lyrics are generally balanced out by a cheeky wink of the eye and the turn of a Crombie-d collar. On ‘Zombie Nation’, a track featuring the unmistakable tones of Madness legend Suggs, a longstanding Kapichi hero, the band spotlight social and political apathy in the face of dark times, and their collective stance against grey Britain and small-island thinking is one that runs throughout the record, in particular ‘Can EU Hear Me?’, a three-minute, Brexit-bemoaning blast of spirited punk. Closing track, Jimi, an acoustic ode to a fallen friend, adds a different flavour, but generally Kid Kapichi are more raised fist than velvet glove. They’re not a band–actually, make that gang–you’d feel comfortable meeting in a dark alley, but at least you’d see their white socks coming!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spinefarm","offers":[{"title":"Yellow LP","offer_id":50513351704907,"sku":"2180020","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink LP","offer_id":50513351803211,"sku":"2180021","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50513351442763,"sku":"2180019","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/There_Goes_the_Neighbourhood_932f7f5d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727927895"},{"product_id":"fearless-nature","title":"Fearless Nature","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnybody familiar with the teeth-gnashing, blood-dripping punk snarl of Kid Kapichi knows about their \u003cem\u003eFearless Nature\u003c\/em\u003e, so it should, at first glance, come as no surprise that the Hasting band’s fourth album should take that title.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first track to be released, ‘Stainless Steel’, frontman Jack Wilson describes as the bridge from the old Kid Kapichi to the new, and in its lethal, taut, muscular efficiency it certainly bears the hallmarks of the band’s classic sound, but the maturity of its point of view and the courage in its vulnerability is something new.
