A sharp, experimental and politically charged chapter in Paul Weller’s catalogue, Wake Up The Nation pushes his mod‑soul foundations into bold new territory. The album blends jagged pop, psychedelic textures, brass flourishes and punchy rock arrangements, featuring standout collaborations with Bruce Foxton, Kevin Shields, Bev Bevan, Steve Cradock, and members of Wired Strings. This 10th Anniversary Edition revisits the acclaimed 2010 album with renewed clarity and packaging, celebrating one of Weller’s most adventurous modern works.
