Today's song came out a couple of months ago. It's by a band that are in a particularly prolific phase at the moment and have put out a couple more releases since (including a memorial ep as a tribute to founding member Dessie Shango who sadly passed away recently).
The Papashangos (https://www.facebook.com/thepapashangos) are from Bolton and describe themselves as bringing "punk rock mayhem, straight from the garage, with a delicious tinge of seedy horror..." They've been around for about 5 years and are a self confessed weird and raw unholy mess. I think it's fair to say they don't take things too seriously.
Their first studio ep, 2018's Just The Tip, saw them singing about how wearing a poncho makes them smile (and how they get off their tits on happiness), how eating people is wrong and overindulging down the boozer. The release I'm concentrating on today sees them trading in the same humorous vein. It's titled Ain't Gonna W**k No More and it's dedicated to ex-masturbators everywhere.
As well as promising Jesus that you'll stop pulling yourself off, the ep also advises you to get out and enjoy your lives rather than sit around on the sofa watching X Factor and it rails against bosses that treat workers like slaves. You can get the ep on cd or digital download : https://thepapashangos.bandcamp.com/album/aint-gonna-w-k-no-more
The closing song was one that went down well on this week's Just Some Punk Songs show and it's a sweary retort to those who suggest we Keep Calm!...
