Newtown Aces - Hey! Hey! No Way!

  

  If you check out Newtown Aces' Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/NewtownAces/) you'll notice that they're Barny Smyth (punk poet and bass player/guitarist) and Dist (producer/guitarist) bastard child monster project forged from a love of 70s/80's punk and New Wave. They're from London  and their influences include the likes of early Killing Joke, Crass, Gang of Four, The Slits, Budgies drumming, Magazine, Joy Division, Birthday Party, Slaves and Shame. What inspires them to make music? Well as Barny says; “In 1978 I was 15, and just remember being really angry.  Now I am older and wiser, I’m really fucking furious”

  They recently released a debut album titled The Future Sound Of Punk and despite taking elements from many of those influences it tweaks them in a way that makes their sound fresh and exciting. It's an album that rewards repeat listens so go check it out... https://newtownaces1.bandcamp.com/album/the-future-sound-of-punk

  I played one of the highlights (Take Back The Streets) on a recent show (https://www.mixcloud.com/mick-fletcher/just-some-punk-songs-230521/) so today I'll draw your attention to another song that they've released a video for. Something of a glam stomper (The Glitter Band meets The Fall's Touch Sensitive?) which sums up the current state of Parliament, this is Hey! Hey! No Way!
