“This was the last song I wrote for the album,” says Cornwell about the title track TOTEM AND TABOO. “It’s become one of my favourites. A hint of REBEL REBEL with some Marc Bolan glam thrown in. I’ve always liked songs with marching 4’s on the snare, and that’s what it is supposed to be, a rallying call for like-minded souls.”
Cornwell was the original guitarist, singer, and main songwriter of the British punk rock band The Stranglers. He’s enjoyed massive UK and European success with 10 hit albums and 21 Top Forty hit singles including PEACHES, NO MORE HEROES, GOLDEN BROWN, ALWAYS THE SUN, (GET A) GRIP (ON YOURSELF), NICE N SLEAZY, DUCHESS, and NO MERCY.
A nationwide October UK tour will see Cornwell perform the TOTEM AND TABOO album in its entirety, followed by The Stranglers’ seminal 1977 album NO MORE HEROES performed in its entirety. Tickets: 0844 478 0898. Book Online: www.thegigcartel.com. VIP packages: www.hughcornwell.com.
