Mau Maus - Same Circus Different Clowns



   Mau Maus (https://www.facebook.com/MauMaus2018/) are a hardcore punk band from Sheffield who formed back in 1979 with an initial line up of Chris Taylor (vocals), Andy 'Lev' Levick (guitar), Kevin 'Bunny' Warren (bass) and Paul 'Podge' Barker (drums). They released a bunch of eps plus the albums Live At The Marples (1983) and Fear No Evil (1985) before the law of diminishing returns led to them calling it a day.

  Fast forward 34 years and they rose like a phoenix from the flames with original members Andy Levick and Kevin Warren joined by W.O.R.M. frontman Danny Clark (vocals) and Dave Roberts (drums). Last year saw the release of a collection of their material in the form of the 21 track compilation album Society's Rejects but it's only now that the new line up have released their first post reformation track. More new music will follow once they can all get together to record.

  Taking aim at world leaders both past and present as well as the system that puts them in charge of the asylum, this is a fast aggressive winner that gives us another reason to hope we get back to some kind of normality soon. More songs like this are definitely desirable. It's called Same Circus Different Clowns...
