Newtown Aces - You're Not My God

  


  "This song deals with my feelings about organised Christian religion and how it has failed to give us a world we can look up to.  Obsessed with money, power and control it has allowed rampant capitalism and warmongering to normalise poverty and greed."

  A slow burning song today from London post-punk duo Newtown Aces (https://www.facebook.com/NewtownAces). Lining up with Barny Smyth (punk poet and bass player/guitarist) and Dist (producer/guitarist), they previously featured on here with a track from their excellent debut album The Future Sound Of Punk (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2021/06/newtown-aces-hey-hey-no-way.html)

  They've a new mini album out later this year which will be called English Mutineer. In the run up to the release they'll be teasing out a song a month, the first of which, (The Failure Of The) Power Of Man (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smRLhIFu4c4) was played on a recent Just Some Punk Songs show. Teaser track number 2 will be going up on Spotify on September 2nd (https://open.spotify.com/artist/4zWMpcBggg9gLQoP2fIPYE) but you can check out the video now. 

  This is a duo that have something intelligent to say and who's sound is a little more refined than the usual 3 chord thrash. They rely on building an atmosphere to draw the listener in. They probably won't be bouncing around the stage at your local dive bar but they're no less powerful for that. 

  Immerse yourselves, this is You're Not My God...
