Thursday night also saw the bands now infamous fox – the night prowler featured on the cover of the new album – beamed 30ft high across famous London landmarks. It all kicked off at 8:30 with the fox appearing on Battersea Power Station, he then popped up on Shoreditch High Street at 10pm before stamping his sneering snarl all over the Houses of Parliament just a few hours after the end of the party leaders election debate.

“The most exciting – and most angrily British – album of the year” ***** Kerrang!

“The strongest and most confident Prodigy album since ‘The Fat Of The Land” 8/10 NME

“They’ve done it again and you can’t help but love ‘em for it” 8/10 Mixmag

This is another shape-shifting evolution in a career full of them. That’ s how The Prodigy stay vital”. Q

Having streamed the full album on iTunes globally last week, this week sees Liam Howlett interviewed by Eddy Temple Morris for his ‘Rebel Radio’ playlist, exclusive to Spotify where they talk about the tracks that shaped his life and career, as well as taking part in the renowned ‘Ask Me Anything’ feature on global news & entertainment site Reddit last night.

On his Spotify playlist Liam documents his lifetime in music. From the very beginning, aged about 10 or 12, he felt an instant affinity with Ska culture on hearing The Specials ‘Too Much Too Young’ – “I just remember standing in the record shop and looking at The Specials album and seeing those guys and thinking, man I wanna be in this gang, whoever these guys are these guys are cool you know… It’s the live version it’s just got that punk energy about it”. He moves on cite Grandmaster Flash, Public Enemy, Meat Beat Manifesto, Beastie Boys right through to The Ragga Twins, the White Stripes, QOTSA, Rage Against The Machine, Slipknot and even Ennio Morricone… “Morricone is quite clearly a genius and he is a man that, when I talk about sound, he’s a man that makes sound that you think ‘what is that? What made that noise? What is that?’ and that gives you a feeling and it’s just like, he’s just such a clever artist and producer”.

It’s a brilliant insight into the mind of the man who’s given us 20+ years of genre defining music and well worth a listen.

Listen to ‘The Day is My Enemy’ album from The Prodigy in full http://prdgy.co/iTunesStream

New Album Released March 27th (30th in the Uk)

The Prodigy releases their new album ‘The Day Is My Enemy’ on March 30th ( 27th in Ireland! ) and you can now hear it in full exclusively on iTunes in the run up to release. The band introduced the album in January with the uncompromising first single ‘Nasty’, followed shortly after with the album’s title track, shaping it up without doubt as one of the most exciting albums of  2015.

The band’s new single ‘Wild Frontier’ came backed by the equally brilliant animated video devised and directed by Mascha Halberstad, watch the video here http://po.st/WildFrontierYT

Preorder the album from iTunes here http://po.st/DayIsMyEnemyiTunes

Alongside the album streaming on iTunes the band also reveal the much anticipated ‘Ibiza’ featuring Seaford Mods. Perfectly encapsulating Liam Howlett’s comments regarding the integrity (or lack thereof) in some of today’s dance music culture and the sanitised superstar DJs that fill the white island, the track is another shining example of The Prodigy’s heart-on-the-sleeve punk rock spirit they’ve always championed. Ibiza will be released as an exclusive limited edition glow in the dark 7” for Record Store Day on April 18th.
