When you see a band getting hailed as the Derry Chats and a song described as the Irish Smoko it's hard not to feel at least a slight tingle of excitement as you rush to check them out. Today I'm featuring No Collusion and damn, they're good.
Based in Derry, Northern Ireland, No Collusion are a trio comprising Ruairi (drums), Dualta (bass) and Shea (guitar/vocals). They list amongst their influences the likes of Cockney Rejects, UK Subs, The Nipple Erectors, Peter & The Test Tube Babies, Slaves, The Chats, Idles, Minor Threat and Black Flag. Young, irreverent and talented, they're the sort of band the UK punk scene needs to encourage so go check them out and give them a like https://www.facebook.com/NOCOLLUSIONBAND/
They've just released debut ep Sticking Sets and as calling cards go it's very promising. You can find it here : https://nocollusionband.bandcamp.com/releases
This is the "hit" from the ep, a slacker anthem that's bound to resonate with many a youngster. Not all punks are concerned about the climate, discrimination, government etc, sometimes it's more important to be able to get your hands on enough money for a bag of baccy and a bit of grub. This is called Aw Naw...
Some boy stole my baccy
In there was my last bit of wacky
What am I supposed to do
That smoke was from the land of Peru
Get a new bag of smoke
Aw what, I got stroked
This day can’t get any worse
Tap me ma’s pounds from her purse
What the fuck? Aw naw
Some man stole my baccy
In there was my last bit of wacky
What am I supposed to do
That smoke was from the land of Peru
Went to grab a new bag of smoke
Wrong time, I got stroked
This day can’t get any worse
Tap me ma’s pounds from her purse
Skint and I want some food
Naw, my luck’s not good
Skint and I want some food
What, my luck’s not good
