It has been quite a while since the PBGB crew last posted a song featuring Rob or Gus, but during the gestation of Battle For Love they both turned up and tuned in.
And it so happened they both played on the version we decided would be the keeper.
The song had been in the making for a while. It all started with a set of lyrics and drum patterns from Pete. Rob contributed up the main riff. We decided to throw some chickens into the mix, and generally pieced it all together..........as we do.
Really fun to play (after all it's only rock and roll and we like it) the Battle For Love is another soap box lament.............subject matter extremely obvious but ever topical as tyrant after tyrant continue to rain terror and grief over vast swathes of the planet.
Where the hell is James Bond when we need him??
Anyway, hope you like it - click HERE to listen.
