'We Are People' is the fifth studio album from folk-rockers Blackbeard's Tea Party and the first to be dominated by the band's original songs and tunes. Best-known for their punky interpretations of sea-shanties and folk tunes, this album is something of a departure for the band, bringing a political conscience to the fore. The signature sound is unchanged - a mix of high-octane folk tunes, heavy riffs, and a touch of glam and funk - but the subject matter includes Brexit, the cost-of-living crisis, the pandemic and populism.

Explaining the album name, Blackbeard's Tea Party's singer Stuart Giddens said:'If you listen to politicians, watch the news, or scroll through social media it's easy to believe that we've become incredibly divided and toxic as a country, and that the only issues that concern us are economic growth, sovereignty and so-called gender ideology. But when I volunteered at a food-bank during the pandemic I felt I glimpsed a different England, one that is essentially caring and accepting, where people's main concerns are staying healthy and caring for their families. It felt to me sometimes like there were two Englands: the England I read about in the news, and the one I lived in every day.
'There are lots of different ways to define folk music. One is 'music of the people' and that definition is pertinent here. For this album, we wanted our music to reflect real-lived experiences - our own and those of people we'd spoken to - as we navigate these uncertain times. There is more that unites us than divides us: we are people.'

Blackbeard's Tea Party haven't completely abandoned trad folk though. There's enough here to keep long-in-the-tooth Blackbeard's fans happy too, with a couple of English drinking songs, a prog-folk epic about a sea-witch, and even a song about syphilis!

The album is self released and was recorded at 6Db Studios with producer Dave Boothroyd.
