Now not many bands will have put out 36 tracks and performed well over 200 gigs BEFORE releasing their debut record.

That's the case with Manchester shock rockers Cabbage, whose debut Nihilistic Glamour Shots arrives on 30 March.

The band have found themselves embroiled in two media storms already in their short career, after an alleged sexual assault at a gig - which was denied by the band and not taken any further by authorities - and a spectacular fall-out with The Sun newspaper.

As a result Cabbage say they already feel like a band on the run.

Singer Lee Broadbent told Music News LIVE: "It feels like we were put on some sort of secret public enemy list and our time was always going to come when possibly someone was going to strike us."

Cabbage's tendency for relentless recording, unpredictable live shows and an appetite for self-destruction have seen them draw comparisons with fellow Manchester outsiders The Fall.

Speaking of their late singer and inspiration Mark E Smith, Lee added: "I think he'll continue to inspire generations - it's just a shame that we don't get to hear his violent wisdom anymore."

"We run things / Things no run we," which she sings as "We run things / Things don't run we."

The defendants have yet to respond to the legal action.
