Hot off the presses, here's the world beating new video from a man born out of lockdown frustration.
Hopefully you'll have already discovered the the work of Paul Catten's shouty alter ego Dead Sheeran (https://www.facebook.com/deadsheeran). If you missed the couple of songs I featured on here last year (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2020/09/dead-sheeran-keep-your-distance.html)
(https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2020/06/dead-sheeran-things-were-better-in.html) I'm sure you came across him elsewhere. His part angry, part humorous ranting seemed to strike a chord with physical releases quickly selling out. If Covid drove you under a rock then you can catch up here : https://deadsheeran.bandcamp.com/releases
Now that things are opening up and we're being encouraged to venture back out into the world, you'd think he'd be mellowing but actually, is he fuck. His new single boasts 2 brilliant new tracks, both laced with plenty of trademark wry observationalism but on which he sounds more pissed off than ever.
Brexit Beach Party bursts out of the gate with the line of "What a time to be alive" before laying into smirking, uncaring Tory fuckwits, Nigel Farage and self induced empty supermarket shelves. Bread and earwax anyone? A definite winner but not the one a video was made for.
That's this beauty, more taking to task of a government totally out of their depth trying their best to paint a picture of record mass testing whilst the real story should be of record mass graves. It's a song that dredges up a conflict of emotions; both humour and horror battle with each other as we wonder if we should laugh or cry. Great art provokes a reaction, see how this works on you.
World Beating...
