The clue is in the name. The debut release by Jonathan "Itch" Fox is titled, Manifesto Part 1: How To Fucking Rule At Life. Clearly, this is the work and the outlook of a man who does not wish for his life to be lived in the background. And when it comes to his music, Itch asks that listeners show a little consideration for their neighbours: Turn the stereo up so that they may hear it too.Over four albums and more than seven years with The King Blues by far the finest band London has produced since the storied days of the Sex Pistols and Elvis Costello & The Attractions Itch acted as bandleader and majority shareholder. While this band may now be gone, the music they created ringsout like a siren at a nuclear power plant. A full six months before one of the world's most vibrant citiesturned in on itself in a dance of fire and frustration in August 2011, Itch found himself occupying the role of prophet rather than songwriter when in "We're Fucking Angry" he declared, "this is class war, this is class war, it's what we wear our hoods and our masks for." As the music writer Greil Marcus once observed, "To make true political music you have to say things that decent people don't care to hear."
