Born Shit Stirrers - Bored Of Education (promo video)



  Have you noticed there's loads and loads and loads of punk music being released. It's over 4 decades since Johnny Rotten asked if we ever get the feeling we've been cheated, 40 plus years since Crass declared Punk Is Dead. Sid Died in 1979. But still the new punk releases keep on a coming.

  And do you know what, despite many, many great releases (just flick back through this blog for a tiny fraction of them), it's not easy to find something that makes you sit up and think "this is a bit different, it's distinctive and immediately grabs your attention". Today's song had me thinking exactly that (well not quite exactly, my initial thought was fuck!). Even though it only lasts for 25 glorious seconds!!!

  Born Shit Stirrers formed in 2016 in Fukuoka, Japan and play short and catchy punk tunes that are "laced with sharp, dark, often self-deprecating humour." They're un pc, irreverent and great fun. If you don't like a song, don't worry the next one will be along soon. There's 21 songs on their new album. It's called Lester, it'll be co released on May 14th by Serial Bowl Records and Chaos Control (on vinyl, cd & digital). You can pre order it (and check out 5 of the tracks) here :   https://serialbowlrecords.bandcamp.com/album/lester-pre-order

  I think this is the first video I've featured that was filmed in a public toilet. If you've never heard this band before, you're in for a treat. This is Bored Of Education...
