Punk/indie icons the Mekons have signed to Fire Records and have shared their first single for the label. “You’re Not Singing Anymore” finds the band in fine, anthemic, twangy form. The band say, “We were recording in Valencia, where General Franco drove democracy into the sea and somehow it was agreed that the horror must never be mentioned again.” Listen below.
