KatJonBand - KatJonBand

Jon Langford of The Mekons and Kat Ex of The Ex share a history outside their duo, KatJonBand. Both members of the '70s punk-rock squad, each faced their share of success and failure in two of the biggest bands to emerge from the scene. Through a series of mishaps and shared friends, Jon and Kat join forces to bring their self-titled release. Musically and lyrically, KatJonBand is a tough album; stripped down, basic and to the point. The Mekons and The Ex have always been explicitly political bands, so it's no surprise that the Iraq war, globalization, class, greed, patriotism and kinky sex all rear their ugly heads in these bone-bare, blood-boiling anthems.
