The album will feature Nick Cave’s title opening track Red Right Hand and PJ Harvey’s cover recorded exclusively for the show.
#PEAKY BLINDERS BAD HABITS SONG SERIES#
This limited 3LP set pressed in blood red vinyl will feature music and key clips of dialogue from all 5 series the show, the 5th series aired late 2019 to critical acclaim. The soundtrack is a window into the mind of Tommy – a tortured ex-soldier with a sensitive side who appears to be suffering from PTSD after fighting in the trenches during World War One. The show is known for its dark and dramatic soundtrack. The fictional gang is loosely based on the Peaky Blinders, a real urban youth gang who were active in the city from the 1890’s and early twentieth century. Starring Cillian Murphy as ‘Tommy Shelby’ – the gang’s leader, the show follows the exploits of the Shelby crime family. All six new episodes will be available to stream on Netflix from 31 May.Peaky Blinders is a British crime drama television series primarily set in Birmingham, England following aftermath of World War I. Peaky Blinders airs on BBC 2 on May 5 at 9pm. Listen to the songs on our Spotify playlist. The episode’s dark denouement is soundtracked by Radiohead’s You And Whose Army? from 2001’s Amnesiac album, with Thom Yorke’s lyric “Come on if you think you can take us all on” entirely apposite for a series which will see the Shelby family imperilled as never before.
In true Peaky Blinders fashion, trouble is perilously close at hand, however. Having attended a screening of the first episode however, TeamRock can reveal that the action has moved on two years from the thrilling climax of season 2, opening with Tommy Shelby’s wedding to the love of his life. With Peaky Blinders now a huge international success for the BBC, details about the eagerly awaited third season, set to air tonight on BBC2 (and Netflix in the US) have been as closely guarded as Shelby family secrets. In this episode, Peej’s filthily grinding Long Snake Moan is used to accompany a scene in which Thomas interrupts his elder brother Arthur during a drug-fuelled sex session and gets a revolver pointed at his head for his ill-manners. Just as Jack White’s music dominates season 1 of Peaky Blinders, season 2 belongs to PJ Harvey.
Just another standard day for the family.
Royal Blood supply the soundtrack to Arthur enjoying a breakfast of cocaine and whiskey in his bar, The Garrison, before being confronted by a gun-toting, grieving mother. The most troubled member of the Shelby clan, plagued by hellish memories of World War I, Arthur Shelby’s dependence on drink and drugs is a constant worry for his family. In the opening episode of series two, it’s employed for the lingering minutes Thomas Shelby hides in the shadows of a steelworks, before popping a bullet in the head of one Eamonn Duggan, under instruction from the IRA.īearing the influence of their friends Queens of the Stone Age, this cut from the Monkeys’ 2013 album AM plays over a ‘the story so far’ recap montage at the opening of an episode which sees the Shelby family extend their operations into London. White’s version was originally recorded for a tribute album commissioned by Q magazine, and later appeared on the soundtrack to The Great Gatsby, but it’s never sounded more powerful than here, introduced as Thomas Shelby types out the words “I learned long ago to hate my enemies, but I’ve never loved one before….” on a letter to his duplicitous girlfriend Grace.īeloved of maudlin Irish drunks, though written by an English lawyer, Danny Boy is perhaps one of the most cloying, overly sentimental songs ever written, but when covered by Johnny Cash on his final studio album, 2002’s American IV: The Man Comes Around, it acquired a new-found dignity and gravitas. Jack White pretty much owns season one of Peaky Blinders, with multiple tracks from The White Stripes and The Raconteurs scattered through the series, but arguably his most affecting contribution is his cover of Love Is Blindness, a cover of the closing track on U2’s Achtung Baby album. Tom Waits’ haunting Time, recorded for 1985’s Rain Dogs album, offers an almost unbearably poignant background to the scene, not least with the lyric “It’s raining hammers, it’s raining nails, it’s true, there’s nothing left for him down here.”
When a visit from the Shelby’s long estranged father ends in betrayal, his eldest boy Arthur is so distraught that he attempts to hang himself in a backstreet boxing ring.
