The Monochrome Set: Jacob's Ladder

Small Story - 16 February 2025

Back in 2016 I wrote about watching the Royal Rumble on tv with a couple of friends. That annual get-together halted after the 2019 edition when it moved to a channel none of us were paying for, but this year we were back together.

There were some good matches on the bill. The Women's Royal Rumble, a tag-team title match and the Men's Rumble. I won't say anything in case you're planning to watch it. 

But for me the highlight was the ladder match between Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens. I don't think I'll be giving anything away if I say that they knocked seven bells out of each other.

So my 'ladder' song is Jacob's Ladder by London post-punk outfit The Monochrome Set. One of those groups I've known of but never really investigated.

Jacob's Ladder is their biggest 'hit'. It reached number 81 in 1984.
