Steve Mason formerly of the Beta Band, Black Affair and King Biscuit Time has announced a new solo album – Monkey Minds In The Devil’s Time. The album has been shaped by the current global political climate and the lack of dissenting voices in music as well as popular culture in general. The follow up to 2010s excellent Boys Outside is due for release March 11th 2013 and features 20 tracks recorded in both London and his own studio in Fife. 

To keep us going until then, an appetite whetter in the shape of a video for the track Fight Them Back has been released. The new track sets the tone for the album with a provocative protest theme and confrontational chorus along with a fiery video to match.
