Lets have a celebratory drink as perennial agit-punk folk rockers The Levellers are back with a new album.
The release of Static on the Airwaves will soon be on us - and gives some us ageing and jaded protesters a clutch of new anthems to rally around.
This will the bands tenth album and the days of artists having a large back catalogue of material has been left behind with a relentless boom and bust of bands now being the norm.
Yet here are the Levellers are setting another trend, and doing it in style.
'Static on the Airwaves' is a more mature collection of songs.
The fire is still there, and it's apparent on every track, but the impression is that they don't feel the need to roar the message any more, and I like that.
It feels like band and fans are all growing in the same direction, and at a similar pace.
What we have is a reasoned and incisive level of global commentary that cuts to the bone just as hard as it would if it was the rallying call to arms of old.
The soundtrack to a night of drunken revelry and politics has been dropped, and in its place a more coherent argument for seeking out an alternative to the status quo is advanced.
It's all rather clever, a catalyst to reconsidering your understanding of the world we live in.
So much of it will be considered as preaching to the already converted, but there's never any harm in being reminded that politically while we may feel lost and alone that none of us really are.
It's a timely reminder that there is nothing new under the sun and what we are seeing is the age old rise and fall of empires going on around us.
Maybe some young music lovers looking for something new will listen to the album and be able to read the writing on the wall as so many of us did when the Levellers first arrived on the scene all those many years ago.
I sincerely hope so.
Twenty years on, and I'm still has hooked on these guys as I ever was.
It's a way of life and is my life... may that never change for the both of us.
