Takers & Users - The Town That Committed Suicide

  Back in 2016 a band from Belfast came out of nowhere and with a debut album that channelled the spirit of local punk legends Runnin' Riot they walked off with the accolade of the Just Some Punk Songs album of the year. A gritty and passionate modern day oi classic it was the sound of a young band that were authentic and a breath of fresh air. If you missed the album then make amends now :   https://takersusers.bandcamp.com/releases

  The band were Takers & Users (https://www.facebook.com/takersandusers/) and they proved they weren't just one hit wonders the following year with the release of the Glory Days single (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2017/02/takers-users-glory-days.html).

  And now, seemingly out of nowhere, a new song. It's an appetiser for an upcoming sophomore album and if it shows us anything it's that the band haven't lost any of that energy or passion. They also haven't lost the knack of writing a catchy tune. It's about the gentrification of Belfast, it's bursting with energy and plenty of gang vocals. These guys want their city back.

  This is The Town That Committed Suicide...
