Good Stock Records is pleased to announce the release of lead single You’ve Not Got Me, as an introduction to the forthcoming Don’t ARgue EP.
YNGM, as it affectionately known, is a 2-minute blast of Cheshire punk, originally written around 1992, and originally recorded solely on 4-track tape back then by the band named Don’t Argue.
Seeing as nothing of the original 4-track recordings were salvageable, sonically, the track has been recorded anew. The temptation to make something glossy, shiny, and palatable was firmly avoided.
Expect grit, a lyrical modernisation from (original frontman and co-producer) Rob, and an angst-ridden, snarling vocal from Go Birch to kick off the Don’t ARgue release cycle.

Reviews, Plaudits and Soundbites
Although she isn’t named dropped in the lyrics, the subject of the song’s unrequited reconciliation attempt is called Rosalee. And, as you can see in the video, she’s proper fed up.
Why don’t you get your act together like it used to be?
My hair is on fire. YES! I love it. Man this rocks. *throwing chairs*

I checked out your music, and I thinks it’s great. It’s like a mix of The Fratellis and The Jam. It’s definitely getting added to the playlist for sure. Keep rocking,
