We live in interesting times is a quote often attributed to Robert F Kennedy (though supposedly it was first used in 1936 by Sir Austen Chamberlain) and with the current state of politics both in the UK and abroad there's lots of bands releasing music that reflects this so this weekend I'm going to feature a couple.
First up are London punk/grunge outfit Diamond In The Dirt. They formed back in 2015, are influenced by the likes of Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes, Slaves, Queens Of The Stone Age etc and feature a line up of Sunny (guitar/vocals), Sam Tids (guitar/vocals), Aden Maine (bass/vocals) and Billy Fuller (drums/vocals). 2016 saw the release of their debut ep, Hopeless, and they've just released a video to their recent single, Brexshit. You can get more info on them here : https://www.facebook.com/DiamondintheDirtUK/ and check out their music here : https://diamondinthedirt.bandcamp.com/
The single was recorded before Boris Johnson took over as pm from Theresa May but I'm sure the sentiment remains the same. It asks the question was it worth it? It's a vituperative 79 second eruption of anger and rage that doesn't hide it's contempt for those who play the game of politics whilst the public pay a heavy price. This is Brexshit...
You’re a number, not a name
Stand in line conform, complain
You believe what you’ve been told
We are not the fucking same
We don’t care what they all say
The black cross is just a game
Fingers cross the future's grey
Cut the head of Mrs. May
Propaganda, fit the mould
Just how much have you been sold
All for what
All for what
All for what
All for what
All for what
All for what
All for what
All for what
All for what
All for what
All for what
All for one
FUCKERS
