The UK Chart Top 100 scraping 'The Streets of London EP' features a whole three brand spanking new songs, 'Bedsit City', 'Somerstown' and 'Pill'. The single is available on 7" and CD now.
'Streets of London' is the follow up to The Parkinsons' mini album 'A Long Way to Nowhere' released earlier this year.
