For a while there, I thought Tuk Smith was going to save rock ‘n’ roll. He should—and I honestly mean this—be one of the biggest rock ‘n’ roll stars on the planet.

And since I’ve stolen an Oasis song title above, it’s worth noting that amidst all the coverage surrounding their reformation, one thing stood out. Steve Lamacq on Radio 4 said, “There are no rock stars anymore.”

Mate, there’s Tuk.

Which brings us to Rogue To Redemption, album number two, and it’s moving things along from where the last one left off.

“The album overall, unknowingly started to take shape almost as a concept record, full of characters, lyrical vignettes, stories and themes that have been a constant running through my life. Little Renegade is no exception, another plea to the disillusioned rebel trying to find their place in the modern world.”
