Dole Scum - The Only Reward

  

"Bourgeoisie - that's a fancy word for posh cunts"

  Sam Dunthorne lives in London and some of you may know him as comedian Sam Rhodes (he's made a living travelling the world telling jokes and he's opened for the likes of Rich Hall, Joe Wilkinson and Glenn Moore). Maybe it's because he's a comedian that he's managed to cram so many great one liners into the new Self Titled ep by Dole Scum. It's an Hardcore Anarco-Punk EP about people power and hating the government and Sam plays all instruments, sings and is responsible for writing and production. 

  It's one of the best releases of 2021 thus far. 

  When I talk about one liners, I don't mean comedic ones. It's much more scathing and sarcastic than that. Straight away, High Cost Of Living offers up no sympathy for our current PM opening up with "You always wanted this job, and now it sits with you. And now the time has come and you haven't got a fucking clue." 

  The eponymous Dole Scum is a banging tune with Sam shouting "Everyday is exactly the same, unemployed and guess who's to blame? Take away my reason to be... and you wonder why I'M FUCKING ANGRY." 

  Battered And Bruised is about the difference between the haves and the have nots, "You're just there cos you lied and you cheated..." and Lockdown is a topical tale about the struggle of staying at home "I miss speaking to people, I need support, cos I'm going out of my mind just staring at these 4 walls."

  And here's the track I've not yet mentioned. "Apathy is the enemy of man.../ The only reward for good work is more work.../ You've got to radicalise, see the fear in your leader's eyes.../ Not every leader went to Eton.../ The leader of the opposition, he doesn't give any opposition. / Kick 'em all out."

  Essential listening. This is The Only Reward...
