Legendary post-punk rockers The The have been out of public view for nearly 20 years and, when they announced tour dates earlier this year, many of them sold out immediately. They have a loyal and dedicated following, and for good reason – founder Matt Johnson has crafted some of the most lyrical masterpieces over his long and various career.
