THE NIGHTINGALES
INSULT TO INJURY
new album out now on Klangbad label
catalogue # KLANGBBAD40
distribution via Broken Silence/Germany & Cargo/UK

This is a living, breathing beast of an album – ARTROCKER, UK

This is their fiercest, most lacerating album yet, better by a good margin than the mid-1980s Pigs on Purpose…and that was excellent – BLURT, USA

The Nightingales have been responsible for some of the most genuinely innovative minority music of the past three decades. What’s more with the release of Insult To Injury they have significantly raised their game. In fact, this is undoubtedly their finest moment – THE QUIETUS, UK
Boozy and deranged, Insult to Injury is how the new Franz record ought to sound – VICE, UK

Their freshest and most subtly intoxicating work to date – OBSERVER MUSIC MONTHLY, UK
They sound wired, edgy, boozy and as dangerous as ever, like a new band full of that energy that comes with those first moves and not a band who’ve been doing this since the start of punk. Robert Lloyd really shouldn’t be this good after all these years, should he? – THE ORGAN, UK

The new album from the ‘Gales is their finest for 27 years. Start here and work backwards – SUNDAY TIMES, UK
Unlovable as ever. The Nightingales remain hard work for precious little gain – MOJO, UK

Its no wonder that they are on the label of the Krautrock legends Faust. The Nightingales capability with sound and playfulness is endless. Their rough unruliness is very charming – ECLIPSED, Germany
Insult to Injury is probably as good as the Nightingales have ever been. This isn’t just an 80′s band doing good but it’s a fine record period, and puts most contemporary (and younger) “post-punk” bands to shame – SOUNDS XP, UK

This album is uneven, undisciplined and overlong – UNCUT, UK

Insult To Injury combines stuff capable of being on the radio with utterly entertaining experiments. Thrilling. – NOTES, Germany
