TRACKLIST
A FEW WORDS
Cheersquad Records & Tapes present the new video from James McCann with his band the ‘JJ McCann Transmission’. ‘Amphibious Skin’ is the opening track for his latest album ‘Hit With Love’ which came out to rave reviews around the world in September 2023.
The video is rough and raw and fits the ‘punch in your face’ riffs and confronting lyrics of ‘Amphibious Skin’
‘Hit With Love’ was produced by Rob Younger (Radio Birdman/New Christs).
“James’ first impressed me years ago fronting Harpoon. I told him it was ‘Outlaw Music’. The bastards had blown my band off the stage. Mean as cat-shit and instinctive, uncontrived, unpredictable. That was his vibe then as now: implacable and impeccable in articulation, blessed with a genuine sneer; not mannerism passing for attitude. Vision, not a version. and not without humour when the occasion warrants, like, when he sees fit. James is right in the centre of everything he’s putting out when singing, hacking away at the guitar and songwriting. There is no affectation, no half-arsed attempting to convince – he’s the real article in a cluttered field where a good many pretend. Get behind James McCann before he gets behind you” – Rob Younger
