Assume nothing. Question everything. A pretty appropriate title for what Belfast punks Stiff Little Fingers have done for the last 35 years. Right from the start they were either criticised or lauded for their choice of subject matter, par- ticularly their focus on the troubles of Northern Ireland. Since then, the band have continued to plough their own fur- row. They’ve always just been Stiff Little Fingers and they still are, with a 35th Anniversary, 14-date UK tour from 14th- 31st March. Listen to this 44-track collection whilst reading Jake Burns’ sleevenotes and you’ll understand why! Includes the likes of Alternative Ulster, Tin Soldiers, Barbed Wire Love, Nobody’s Hero, White Noise, At The Edge right up to 2004’s Guitar and Drum.
