"In these interesting times
Bankers get away with crimes
The media’s not on your side
Don’t need to read between the lines..."
Today I'm posting a song by another one of the bands that went down so well on the recent Just Some Punk Songs UK special show (if you missed it you can listen here : https://www.mixcloud.com/mick-fletcher/just-some-punk-songs-uk-special-show/).
Shot Balowski (https://www.facebook.com/shotbalowski/) are a 3 piece based in Carlisle and Glasgow who's line up features Debbie Ullrich (bass/vocals), Tef Lovegrass (drums/vocals) and Simon Whittle guitar/vocals). Earlier this year they released a debut, self titled album and it ain't half bad.
They're a band with a left leaning political worldview who write snappy little punk tunes on subjects such as militant suffragette martyr Emily Wilding Davison, orange hued has-been Donald Trump, hate filled red top The Daily Mail, boxing icon Muhammad Ali, sexy people with guns and fast cars on American tv etc. They even make a good fist of the Bob Marley classic Redemption Song.
I assume the album sold out as they've started taking pre orders for a 2nd rerun of the 10" vinyl version : https://shotbalowski.wordpress.com/shop/
They're also streaming a couple of tracks from the recent Eton's Burning ep on Bandcamp : https://shotbalowski.bandcamp.com/album/etons-burning-ep
This was the song I chose for the show, it's a fuck you to those greedy, grasping twats that are doing their best to keep most of us in poverty. It's called Critique Of Everyday Life...
