Cabbage have told NME they are taking inspiration from Alan Bennett whilst recording their debut album.
A series of quick-fire, highly charged EPs have laid the ground for the band’s first record, and Joe Martin has revealed they are currently soaking up inspiration from many different directions. “We’ve got a song about Alan Bennett ‘cos I went to the West Yorkshire Playhouse to see Alan Bennett in conversation,” he said.
“His new book’s called ‘Keep On Keeping On’ and he’s just fucking a huge inspiration. We have a lot of black and white politically-messaged strong songs already, but we’re also hugely inspired by finding the humour of life and things that are really melancholy. Northern kitchen sink, that’s what really floats our boat.”
