‘KOKO’, named after the motto ‘keep on keeping on’, features the single ‘Ragdoll’, which includes a guest appearance from Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger, who the band got to know when they supported the ‘How You Remind Me’ rockers on a UK and European arena tour last year. Other guests on the album include Frank Turner, Shed Seven and Reverend & The Makers.
The band from Leigh, in Greater Manchester, is made up of Thom Rylance, Robert Lally, Katie Lloyd and Joe Singleton. Speaking about their album ‘KOKO’ reaching the top of the albums chart, they said: “‘KOKO’ is the UK’s Official Number 1 album! It’s been a lot of work, but this makes it all worth it. It’s such a whirlwind of emotions. We’re so grateful to everybody to be supporting us and the album.
“Go back in time and tell 12-year-old us that we’d have two Number One albums, it’s amazing. This is for grassroots music. This is for the working class. This is for Leigh. This is for anybody who has a dream – go out there and get it. Make it happen!”
Last year The Lottery Winners frontman Thom Rylance spoke to NME about his regret at starting a row with Kate Nash over the lack of working-class representation in the arts. Rylance tweeted that Nash shouldn’t try to represent working class musicians, as well as criticising her background as a former pupil of the BRIT School, mistakenly labelling it a fee-paying establishment.
Apologising to Nash, he said: “I’m sorry, genuinely. What Kate is doing is great, because she’s highlighting the systemic problems working class people face in the arts. The lack of access working class people face is very disproportionate in the music industry and other arts. I agree with everything Kate is saying, and I want to join her in being a voice too.”
