Silicone Values - The Last Work Of Piss Artists

  


  One of the more interesting newcomers of 2020 are Bristol DIY collective Silicone Values. They announced themselves in June with a single called I Hate Fascist Rock And Roll (I think we're all with them on that one!) and they followed it in September with the excellent dystopian pairing of Utopian Futures & Nuclear Sun (which was covered here :  https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2020/10/silicone-values-utopian-futures.html).   

  Now they complete a hat trick of killer singles with the release of "two more tinnitus inducing one-trick ponies..." 

  Buying into the Desperate Bicycles rallying cry of "It was easy, it was cheap, go and do it" they bring us a couple of sub 2 minute lo-fi delights. Just As Simple As That is a jaunty blast of budget post punk whilst the song you'll find below marries up a splendid title with a terrace style chanted chorus of "who do you think we are?" From what I can make out, it's a critique of modern day Britain, or at least a sizable section of it. 


  This is The Last Work Of Piss Artists...
