TOO few of us, no doubt, have ever asked ourselves: “What would a punk-crossover-Tudor madrigal sound like?” But John Baine, aka stand-up poet Attila the Stockbroker, has not only had that thought, he’s made the excellent album Restoration Tragedy about England’s 17th century revolution based on his answer.
From the opening The Levellers Trilogy, Baine and his band, Barnstormer 1649, prove that this admixture of radical 17th century history, traditional folk instrumentation and composition and punk sensibilities really can work.
