Cock Sparrer - Hand on Heart (CD)

2024 sees Cock Sparrer release their eighth (and final!) studio album, Hand on Heart.

No-one (band included) expected any more new songs after 2017s excellent Forever album. But lockdown came and with time on their hands and plenty to still say, the band have recorded their strongest album yet - 10 new songs, all with the trademark anthemic sound that Sparrer are known for, with a few surprises thrown in. Hooks, melodies, strong mob choruses and string arranger Simon Dobson (Bring Me the Horizon / Mike Oldfield) adding something classy and unique to a track that is a "hair on the back of your neck" moment.

The band have always had great songs, but usually the studio budget went down the pub! Not so with Hand On Heart. Produced by James Bragg and guitarist Daryl Smith, they brought in Grammy winning 2022 UK Mastering Engineer of the year, Kevin Tuffy to do the final mastering. Resulting in their best sounding album from their 52 year career.
