It was released on 1 June 2015.[1] It reached number 8 in its first week on the UK Albums Chart.[2] The album was nominated for the 2015 Mercury Music Prize.[3] The album received mixed reviews from critics upon release. Clash Music reviewed their debut album, calling it a "solid debut" and rating it seven out of ten,[4][5] however, Crack placed the album at number 1 in their list of the worst albums of 2015, and described the duo as "papier-mache punks with their mockney lip-flapping, fag-paper-thin-sentiment, derivative riffs, embarrassingly prescriptive pseudo-politics and sixth form poetry." [6] A deluxe edition was released on 13 November 2015 [7] which featured their single "Where's Your Car Debbie" and one of it's B-sides, 3 songs from their "Sugar Coated Bitter Truth" EP, 2 tracks from BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge and other new songs.
