Truth, Lies and Asylum Seekers


Incl original music by Crum Hall

On Sunday 7 March 2010 three failed asylum seekers jumped to their deaths from the fifteenth floor of Glasgow's notorious Red Road flats. It was an event that would make news around the world. While suicides of this type might be rare, thousands of asylum seekers are deemed to be 'bogus' every year.

BBC Scotland highlighted in the documentary "Truth, Lies and Asylum Seekers" the plight of asylum seekers facing extradition.

Recording Mettle




Mettle, Lincoln’s first full-length album (following on from the critical acclaim of both Barcelona and Kibokin mini albums) crackles and strums like a desert-baked old gramophone would. Decidedly unheavy Mettle--unlike the band’s mid-1990s incarnation--this takes in the heady twilight atmosphere of a long summer’s evening following the broken roads down to Mexico (what do you expect from a band named after Lincoln Fargo in Jim Thompson’s Heed the Thunder?) while dusty trombones and muted trumpets are swept across the widescreen vista.
Drums played and recording tracked by Crum at Balbithan House.
