Recall Records will give one of 2005’s standout albums a full North American release in February next year. Grand National’s ‘Kicking The National Habit’ justifiably received huge props across a wide variety of press and even without a proper stateside release managed to attract cult status.
Released on February 21, 2006, the North American package will feature seven bonus tracks not available on the original UK release, including remixes by Sasha and The Glimmers. Also added is a bonus video for ‘Drink To Moving On’ directed by Ramon & Pedro.
Grand National are buddies Rupert Lyddon and Lawrence “La” Rudd, who combined head up a full six piece band that has all the right people given the thumbs up. Tipped for big things due to their original sound which appeals to the rockers, to the reggae fans, to the dance heads, and in good news for their bank balances an element of the commercial market the boys are onto a good thing. The Full Tracklisting for the album is as below:
