"I went to the Job Centre, and someone recognised me and started laughing. I went back to the car and cried my eyes out." Britrock's cheekiest chaps A have returned, older and wiser – and they've made the album they needed to

Studio portrait of the band 'A'.

Whichever way you look at it, 21 years is a bloody long time. Since 2005 we’ve had economic crashes, global lockdowns, political upheaval and several threats of World War III. It’s also how long it’s been since A released an album. Having formed in 1993, they toured their arses off before finally tasting chart success with 2002 album Hi-Fi Serious.
