Fifteen years after splitting up, Whipping Boy reformed in 2011 with two of the original members, including vocalist Feargal McKee, joined by three newcomers. This single has been released to mark their return. I saw the band on tour recently at a venue in London and the two tracks from this were fitted into their set. McKee is no longer the mid twenties youth with an attitude and paranoid schizophrenia - he is now a middle aged man with an attitude and paranoid schizophrenia.
The two tracks are reminiscent of the band's last output, "Heartworm" but with a better production. " Earth's Last Picture" has a lyric derived from a Rudyard Kipling poem and is a semi-acoustic number which conveys an atmosphere of despondency while "No One Take Prisoners Any More" is a more up-tempo number. It is to be hoped that the single presages a new album from the band for the world needs Whipping Boy - it really does.
Rating: 7/10
