Centro-matic announce 'Take Pride in Your Long Odds'
- News
Great news in that Centro-matic are releasing a new album on 2nd June called 'Take Pride in Your Long Odds'. Rock & roll veterans now with original line up of the band still intact, there must be some self-refection in the title of the LP.
The band's 11th studio album is summed up by singer-guitarist Will Johnson; "If there are entities telling you that you can't do something," that there's no way something is gonna happen for you—take pride in your work and prove them wrong. If it's worth it to you, you shouldn't give it any less of a chance because of what someone else says."
The next best news would be some UK dates in the not too distance future please!
