Truthdare Doubledare marked a significant change in the direction of synth-pop trio Bronski Beat’s as a band, with vocalist Jimmy Somerville leaving and being replaced with John Jøn Foster.
Whilst maintaining a clear voice in support of gay rights and political activism, the production gave way to a rougher and rawer style, featuring more real instruments, ever-powerful lyrics and more variety in genre.
This never-before re-issued album features the #3 single ‘Hit That Perfect Beat’, a full remaster, new remixes from the likes of I. JORDAN and Ted Carfrae and rare, unreleased studio and live versions.
