Remix Single and free live album download

The Obnoxious Pop combo enjoyed a full-on summer of festival high-jinks in the UK, Ireland and Europe.

Model Citizen on 7th December.

As a thanks to their fans for their support throughout the year, the band will be making this gig available as a free eleven-track live album download exclusively through this website on Thursday 17th December (MayKay's birthday).

canvas “in the ring”, being built in the venue for this one-off show;
