Wargasm's Venom: a fun as hell, genre-splicing, relentlessly entertaining ride, and one of 2023's essential debut albums It was a fluke,” Hunter, says in the album’s Jan. 20 announcement. “This was not planned. Really, I’m serious. I really couldn’t believe some of them. I mean, it’s amazing what’s happened. It’s been such a buzz.”

Exclusive editions of key new releases as well as selectively chosen classics and archival releases I’ve been in Sun Studios a couple of times,” he adds, “and I don’t know what it does for anybody else, but it’s a great feeling being in that room, a very strange feeling. We went down there with The Rant Band and there’s all these original instruments – guitars hanging on the wall, there’s Jerry Lee’s piano, a little drum kit and stand-up bass. Before we knew what we were doing, we were all playing in Sun Studios. But it does have almost a ghostly vibe to it.” There’s something a little E St Band-ish about “Guernica” and Joe Elliott’s harmonies are superb, while “I Hate Hate” is an example of the anger that burns. Its also what this album would have been if it had been conventional as it’s just Hunter and The Rant Band (it would have still been brilliant – and there’s another version too with Jeff Tweedy on). My new album Defiance Part 1 is finally here. There are a lot of reasons I chose to call this album Defiance. It’s as if people my age shouldn’t be making records, blah, blah, blah. But we’ve still got a bit left. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we did making it. Having spent the better part of two years on the project, Hunter isn’t done yet. As its title promises, “Defiance Part 1” will be followed by the arrival of “Defiance Part 2”. The second chapter will feature an equally stunning range of special guests while projecting an entirely different thematic approach and songwriting aesthetic.It was a fluke,” Hunter says. “This was not planned. I can’t believe half the people even knew who I was. Really, I’m serious. I really couldn’t believe some of them. I mean, it’s amazing what’s happened. It’s been such a buzz.” Defiance Part 1” is heralded by today’s premiere of the nostalgic first single, “Bed of Roses”, featuring guitarist Mike Campbell (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Fleetwood Mac) and drums by Ringo Starr, available today at all DSPs and streaming services. An official video for “Bed of Roses” can be seen below. It was a fluke”, Ian Hunter says. “This was not planned. Really, I’m serious. I really couldn’t believe some of them. I mean, it’s amazing what’s happened. It’s been such a buzz”.

That’s typical of what the record does, in that it doesn’t sound like anything else here, yet Hunter is the golden thread. And that extends to the guests. Todd Rundgren is on the soul filled “Don’t Tread On Me” – a simple plea for respect – and you imagine for the stars this was a fun way to get out of comfort zones. The ultimate feat”: Pedal Pawn has reverse engineered one of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Tube Screamer pedals to produce the “juiciest mid-hump overdrive tone ever” Fellow octogenarian Ringo Starr (82) keeps the beat on the following “Bed of Roses” which pounds out with the force of the best Mott grinders as guitarist Mike Campbell provides gutsy six-string support. In the thumping “I Hate Hate” ( it’s spreading like an epidemic), his gruff voice adds to the song’s irritation about negativity in society. Having spent the better part of two years on the project, Hunter isn’t done yet. As its title promises, DEFIANCE PART 1 will be followed closely by the arrival of DEFIANCE PART 2. The second chapter will feature an equally stunning range of special guests while projecting an entirely different thematic approach and songwriting aesthetic.

I’m a songwriter,” he says. “That’s what I do for a living. And after 20 years with the Ranters, I felt like doing something different anyway. And then the Covid hit and it was like, you’re either going to go mad, or you’re going to do something. So I just went at it. I didn’t really write depressing songs, because I figured things were depressing enough as it was.” Use italics (lyric) and bold (lyric) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part He hit the strings on his guitar, laid it on the floor, had the amp cranked and left his studio – and left it on for days.
