Yur Mum - SWEATSHOP



  If you listened to this week's Just Some Punk Songs show you'll have noticed it was a female vocalist special and it concluded with a new song by Yur Mum. The listeners in the chatroom loved it and to be honest, I don't blame them, it's a banging tune.

  They're a multicultural rock band based in London who formed in 2016 and feature a line up of Akos Gado (guitar), Anelise Kunz (vocals/bass) and Fabio Couto (drums). They've released a single, a live ep and an album (Road Rage  https://www.flickniferecords.co.uk/store/cds-2/416-yurmum-album). Now they've resurfaced with a new single and it's accompanied with a rather snazzy video. You can get more info on the band here : https://www.facebook.com/rockyurmum/ and here :   https://www.yurmum.com/   whilst the single is streaming here : https://yurmum.bandcamp.com/

  A rocking critique of the buy anything generation, the Black Friday fake satisfaction, the waste your money on crap you don't need crowd. It's satirically vitriolic and the video is suitably shiny and disposable. This is SWEATSHOP...

Walking past the new Versaces 
Clean front doors and royal asses 
Sloan straight line of catwalk masses 
Showing off to broken classes 

It’s time to sweatshop 
On a Black Friday 
Fake Satisfaction 

Easy access to consume 
Has made me buy a lot of useless crap 
I never needed first place 
Now I wanna an upgrade 

Calling, calling! The dole dependents 
That deep inside do not depend on nothing 
Calling, calling! This generation 
That’s so selfish they get their heads up their asses
