SYMPOS - On The Scratcher

  


  Today's song was kindly brought to my attention by Wayne Elliott (ex bass player with Doctor And The Crippens and now host of the Pulsebeat radio show  https://www.mixcloud.com/Wayne_Elliott/). It's the debut release by a band based in Waterford called SYMPOS (https://www.facebook.com/sympathychips) and it's a damn fine mission statement. 

  The song is called On The Scratcher. It's a term that means on the dole or social welfare in their native Ireland and it reminds me somewhat if another great recent Irish debut release (http://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2019/05/no-collusion-aw-naw.html). It's another couldn't give a fuck slacker anthem reflecting the frustrations of the youth of the Emerald Isle. Humour and attitude abound. You need to check it out, you'll be impressed.
