The Men from W.O.M.B.L.E.

The Men From W.O.M.B.L.E. is the tenth studio album by British acid-house band, Alabama 3, released on 29 November 2013 on Hostage Music. It was recorded at Jamm Studios in Brixton, London.

W.O.M.B.L.E is an acronym, standing for "World of Militant Beat Liberating Executioners", a commitment to keep "terrorising the music industry with their subversive approach".^[1]

The album references children's TV series The Wombles and its theme tune about "Underground, overground, wombling free". Rob Spagg a.k.a. Larry Love said, "something that you have to establish as a musician, is whether you are underground or overground. I think that Alabama 3 can hold their heads up and say that we have maintained and are developing an underground base, which I'm very proud of.'"^[1]

It might also be a reference to the London-based anarchist group WOMBLES who were running underground music events during this period.
