High Times & Misdemeanours marks the second coming of Richard Davies & The Dissidents, arriving four years on from their widely-praised debut set Human Trafc, bringing a fresh cluster of anthemic, emotive, and street-savvydoses of blue-collar rock'n'roll in the spirit of the Heartbreakers and The Pretenders

High Times & Misdemeanours takes up where Human Trafc left off, with the Dissidents 'patent' Countrydelic Rock'n'Roll' sound.

Richard began his career playing guitar for indie band Tiny Monroe in the 90s, recording several singles, an EP and an album for London Records, touring with Radiohead and Suede and appearing at the Glastonbury, Reading and T in the Park festivals along the way. He then recorded three albums with The Snakes - Songs From The Satellites, Sometime Soon and The Last Days of Rock'n'Roll - as the band became major players on the UK Americana scene, picking up mainstream national airplay from the likes of Bob Harris and Mark Lamarr. More recently Richard has become an integral member of Marc Valentine 's band appearing on both the Basement Sparks and Future Obscure albums.
