Cammell Laird Social Club

Given that Half Man Half Biscuit legendarily broke up in 1986 at the peak of their U.K. indie scene stardom -- supposedly because singer/songwriter Nigel Blackwell was finding it increasingly difficult to fit his TV watching and football fandom into the band's growing demands on his time -- it's surprising how comfortingly regular their release schedule has been since their early-'90s re-formation: every couple of years, there's a new album of Blackwell's inimitable sketches of modern British life.
