Product Information

As of 2009, Meighan was making an attempt to tone down his controversial image. In an interview with the Daily Record, he said, "When we released the first album, it didn't help in interviews that we slagged everyone off.

They got us so wrong. I don't regret anything we said but it was ridiculous." [24]
