Now and Then...!

Remastered and rereleased. Steve Ignorant with Paranoid Visions’ follow up the hugely successful 2013 LP When…?, a commercial and critical hit, was 2016’s LP Now and Then….! The material was a combination of new songs and reworked songs from Steve Ignorant’s post-Crass days and Paranoid Visions unreleased or underplayed material. The production is rich, the artwork is beautifully colourful and the material has been very well received at shows throughout 2015 and 2016. Music ranging from the Gang of Four-esque “Look Mummy Clowns” or “Bleak Town Revisited” to the Ramonesy “Loudmouth”, the dark “Fan the Flames” or speed punk of “Something More” shows the band are as creatively adept and eclectic as ever. But the powerful recordings of Schwartzeneggar’s “Art and Craft”, Stratford Mercenaries “No More Running” and “Where is Love” demonstrate a passionate vocalist who still believes every word he said and believed at the time they were originally released.
