2010 had been a busy year for Glen Matlock. Not only has the Sex Pistols legend performed in The Faces first full show for around 35 years, comprising of originals Ronnie Wood, Kenney Jones and Ian McLagan along with new boy Mick Hucknall. Glen then went on to perform in the one-off band Silver Machine, featuring Glen, Bobby Gillespie, Zak Starkey as well as other members of Primal Scream, performing at the 1234 Festival in Shorditch earlier this year. 

With the newly released album "Born Running", Glen returns with full band The Philistines. Javier Weyler from the Stereophonics provides formidable, at times breathtaking, drumming. James Stevenson (Chelsea, Ge X and The Alarm) performs on lead guitar, on drums Jim Lowe - who produced the Stereophonics as well as Glen’s Open Mind album – working his rock ‘n’ roll magic once more behind the controls. Jim, also a gifted guitarist, plays on the album which sees the return of both James Stevenson and a final, virtuoso performance by the late Steve New. 

Born Running is a stunning collection of songs, perhaps his strongest since Never Mind The Bollocks. Powerhouse performances abound; title track Born Running, Rock Chick, Electricity and Time Bomb, leave the listener in no doubt that Glen can match anyone sonically.
