SPIRITUAL FRONT comment: “It wasn’t easy to choose the right song for our first single from ‘The Queen is Not Dead’ as each song represents something special and unique, but ‘Bigmouth Strikes Again’ is undoubtedly one of the most captivating and recognizable: the initial riff is already history after the first two seconds, the rhythm section is pressing and the unmistakable voice of Morrissey together with the fascinating textures of guitarist Johnny Marr make this piece legendary”, Simone Salvatori writes. “We also chose it, because we were lucky enough to have friends who shared this tribute with us such as Durga McBroom (vocalist for Pink Floyd, Steve Hackett, and Billy Idol), Jairo Zavala (from Calexico and DePedro) and TJ Cowgill (aka King Dude). But, at the same time, we skipped the idea to make a classic ‘devotional’ video clip, and that’s why we chose again to work with one of our favorite performers named Mr. Aldino in order to create something involving but unsettling at the same time. Yes to a homage, but no to cloning. That was the deal.”
