Untitled

No Going Back is the tenth studio album by punk band Stiff Little Fingers and will be released in March 2014 through PledgeMusic. The album is the band's first studio release in eleven years since 2003's Guitar and Drum. [1][2]


Background

On 9 March 2007, Jake Burns announced that Stiff Little Fingers would be recording a new album which would hopefully be completed by the end of 2007. They previewed tracks from the new album, "Liar's Club" and "My Dark Places" at live concerts. At the Glasgow Barrowlands gig on 17 March 2011 Burns announced that a new album was being recorded – hopefully for a 2011 release – before launching into a new song, "Full Steam Backwards", about the banking crisis in the UK.[3] Liar's Club is named after a bar in Chicago that Burns drove past on his way home whilst listening to a press report about Tony Blair, George W. Bush and the Iraq War.

On 16th October 2013, the band launched a project on PledgeMusic to raise funds for the new album. The project reached its funding goal within 5 hours.[4]Completion on the album was announced on 25 January 2014 with pre-orders available for its release. Through PledgeMusic, fans will be able to buy the album in various different forms such as MP3 download, CD, Deluxe version along with various other items including autographed copies of the album and setlists. Part of the raised money will be donated to a charity project that’s very close the band's hearts and ethos.
