SSHH TO RELEASE THEIR NEW ALBUM, ISSUES
Zak Starkey and his partner SSHH have recorded an album of covers entitled ISSUES and it features some really great musicians, including Glen Matlock and Paul Cook of The Sex Pistols, Martin Chambers of The Pretenders, Kenney Jones of the Small Faces and The Who, Gem Archer of Oasis and legendary guitarist Mick Ralphs of Mott the Hoople. All backing vocals by Billy Nicholls and Simon Townshend. Plus the album benefits the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Here’s what Zak and SSHH have to say about the album . . .
“Our new album was originally to be a radio series for Scott Greenstein at Sirius XM. Scott asked us to play our original music and the songs that influenced us to make our music. Really cool of Scott but we felt that a lot of artists were already doing that kind of thing. We suggested we cut the tunes that influenced us with the original rhythm sections from the bands we covered. It turned out so good that everyone involved thought it should be a record.
So it is.
xx
