Bitter Self Exploitment (https://www.facebook.com/BitterSelfExploitment) are a trio from Southampton "who write fast, angry songs." Despite that claim to write angry songs, one of their main weapons of choice is humour. For example, the letters of their name are BSE which is an acronym not only of Bitter Self Exploitment but also for Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (aka Mad Cow Disease). Not coincidently, their latest release is titled 7 Udder Songs and the cover is of a guy milking a cow. It's a follow up to their 2018 debut ep, We Tried, and it continues the theme of the band writing about real life issues. Stuff that may not be massively important but which irks nevertheless.
Proceedings kick off with a song about the band not being very popular and continue on to regale us with moans about shitty jobs, the haves and have nots and being skint. It's the kind of tongue in cheek punk nonsense you'll only really find in the UK and you can check it out here : https://open.spotify.com/album/4FiRmx0txC6xyIWDZ4Jaah?
This one's my favourite, it's a bit Hung Like Hanratty, a bit Half Man Half Biscuit, it's called Moustache Twat...
