Fat White Family: Off from drugs and on to the new album

Guardian has a great article about how getting rid of hard drugs affected Fat White Family and making of their new album 'Serfs Up!'. They moved to Sheffield to make the album - “It was just far enough away from London to keep smack out of proceedings”, as Lias Saoudi points out. Questions of racism and migration were another issue during the production of that album - "The implications race had for us were massive and affected everything for my family… I understand why some people might find this terminology extreme but that kind of abuse was the reality for us and I’m not going to shy away from that as an artist".
