				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Goldie Lookin Chain&#8217;s music is synonymous with the affectionate criticism they dole out to the sometimes pitiful landscape of South-Wales home-town Newport. It&#8217;s easy to disregard the Cwmbran princes as distasteful, social scoffers, but their creations are certainly based in some kind of impressive satirical intellect. September 2nd will see the release of &#8216;Kings of Caerleon&#8217; (another reference to the uninspiring suburban village community&#8217;s that exist around Newport), the latest addition to their plethora of mix-tapes and studio albums. The record, on the Gramphonics/ 1983 label, coincides with GLC&#8217;s decade anniversary, an event that the group intend to honour with a substantial 18-leg tour of the UK.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/goldie-lookin-chain-4ff5b8f200c59.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-765" alt="goldie-lookin-chain-4ff5b8f200c59" src="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/goldie-lookin-chain-4ff5b8f200c59-580x580.jpg" width="580" height="580" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-764"></span>The track listing contains the usual tounge-in-cheek, fist-in-mouth gibes &#8216;Baneswell Express&#8217;, &#8216;Newport Bouncers&#8217; and &#8216;What Would Biggie Do&#8217;,  to yet again prove that observational, self-analytical comedy never gets old. Their music video for &#8216;At The Drive-Thru&#8217; could be seen as weight-hatred or a senseless indictment of poverty (the chorus&#8217;s Country infused South Park impersonations either echo America&#8217;s obesity issues or just the general irritation and sense of stereotype stupidity one gleans from the cut-out characters squealing accents) but the &#8216;humour&#8217; of grown men stuffing their sports-wear with pillows dispels all gravity.</p>
<p>The band still look like they are enjoying themselves, after all their ethos is drenched in &#8216;piss-take&#8217; and this continues to makes it fun. Due to their cult success the members may have since germinated from the light brown chequered caps, nylon track-suits and chunky chains that they portray to town-houses in the centre of London, but the spirit is still very much tangible.</p>
