The Clash are an obvious influence on the ragged tune Robin Hood, though Jamie T has plenty of his own ideas on this rich and rousing album. He’s getting better and better

There’s a strong feeling that we have heard songs (let alone song titles) such as Drone Strike, Tescoland, Police Tapes, Joan of Arc, Robin Hood, and Solomon Eagle several times before
