Carol Hodge was last seen in November 2011 on stage at the Shepherds Bush Empire. She was holding the hand of the one-time Crass vocalist Steve Ignorant as they closed both Ignorants world tour and his career of singing songs by the one-time Kings and Queens of anarchopunk, with a massively emotional version of Bloody Revolutions. Carol has adopted the personality of Miss Crystal Grenade; an existentialist Victorian artist, singer, and freak show performer with a peculiarly deformed hand. Accompanying herself on piano, and with some songs featuring multi-tracked vocals. Its impossible to categorise with any degree of satisfaction. The nearest I can come to her vocal phrasing is of all people - Elton Johns eponymous second album, where he sang against strings produced and arranged by Paul Buckmaster. But the songs sound nothing like him, and there are no strings, merely some gloriously rococo piano.
