Just over a year ago I featured the debut single by Belfast post-punk/shoegaze/noise quartet Enola Gay (https://www.facebook.com/enolagaybelfast/). It was a very impressive calling card, a pummelling soundtrack accompanied by well thought out and topical lyrics about racism (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2020/07/enola-gay-birth-of-nation.html).
This year they've continued to impress with a clutch of intelligent, razor sharp tracks, the latest of which I'm posting today. As well as releasing music (and getting plenty of airplay on BBC Radio 6 Music etc), they've been (and will be) busy playing live so check out their Facebook page for gigs.
Their latest song is a political treatise dealing with media manipulation and "promised fables." You should lend it your ears https://enolagay1.bandcamp.com/track/salt
It's called Salt...
Why’d you slugs vote for the salt
Brainwashed by the Tory cult
Chump changed by a different Trump
Feel the thump now you’ve finally made the jump
Ya say millennials are all so hysterical
To whack lipstick on the proverbial
Didn’t your ma ever say “Son,
You’ll go blind by staring at The Sun”
You’ll go blind by staring at The Sun
You’ll go blind by staring at The Sun
You’ll go blind by staring at The Sun
You’ll go blind by staring at The-
Stop voting for trickle-down economics
With the next generation left with no food in their stomachs
Fed nothing but tall tales and promised fables
With Prince Andrew sitting at the kids table
No sweat...
You’ll go blind by staring at The Sun
You’ll go blind by staring at The Sun
You’ll go blind by staring at The Sun
You’ll go blind by staring at The Sun
You’ll go blind by staring at The Sun
You’ll go blind by staring at The Sun
You’ll go blind by staring at The Sun
You’ll go blind by staring at The Sun
