Peaky blinders bad habits song8/10/2023 ![]() It’s almost like someone plugged my Spotify into the show, as so many scenes feature my favourite bands and artists! Take this scene, for example, in which Tommy Shelby (played by Irish actor Cillian Murphy) attempts to carry out a murder, set to “Bad Habits” by The Last Shadow Puppets. Tracks are hard-hitting when they need to be in order to illustrate the gritty underbelly of Birmingham in the 1910s, 20s, and now 30s. I’m sure I’m biased because my music taste consists primarily of modern alternative rock, but I’ve always felt that Peaky Blinders nails it on the music front. Through music we receive guidance on how to feel when watching: the selected songs convey emotion, which in turn sets the tone for a scene. The curation of a soundtrack, especially during montages and in the opening and closing credits of a television show, can drastically transform how a story comes across. It’s become so strongly associated with the show that it feels disorienting not to hear it at the start of each episode, which is a testament to one aspect of Peaky Blinders I can never stop thinking about: the music. And now in Season 5, we’ve lost the Red Right Hand altogether. By Season 3, however, we started getting covers of the song instead of the original. In Season 1, I could always depend on the track’s clipped tones to signal my absorption back into early 20 th century Birmingham. It seems my indignation is here to stay, as the show producers appear to have abandoned the use of “Red Right Hand” altogether in the later seasons.

I’m so glad that at last we have been able to put some of the tracks together on one album, to put the atmosphere and swagger and snarl of the show into your headphones and speakers.Ī free limited edition Peaky Blinders poster will be included in for the first 500 pre-orders on both the 2CD and 3LP across uDiscover, Sound Of Vinyl and .uk. It would be difficult to imagine most of the pivotal moments without the soundtrack. The Peaky Blinders story and the music we use are twins, born at the same time. Show Creator Steven Knight was instrumental in pushing the importance of the music used in the show: ![]() The soundtrack album also features series 1-5 original scores created specifically for the show. The show has been particularly celebrated for its stylish cinematography and charismatic performances, enhanced by the use of contemporary music, and with the lates season’s score by the multi-Mercury Award Nominated singer songwriter Anna Calvi, the plaudits just kept coming.
