The Owen Guns - Arson About

  


  One album I've been looking forward to hearing is Dawn Of The Braindead by New South Wales old school hardcore punk outfit The Owen Guns (https://www.facebook.com/theowenguns). They've been on here a few times previously, most recently in June when I featured their reimagining of a track from the Romper Stomper soundtrack (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2022/06/the-owen-guns-pulling-on-boots-racist.html). 

  That track features on the new album and it's just one of many highlights on a debut ep which melds together outrage and humour to great effect. The band (Sean the Bastard Vocals/Theremin/Kazoo,   Mark Guitar, Booker Bass & Ma Tu Drums/Vocals/Djembe/Tin Whistle) opine on subjects such as Bono, conspiracy theorists, zombies, pissheads and shit stirrers. It's all done with great gusto and you can get it on vinyl or digital download from Outtaspace Records   https://outtaspace.bigcartel.com/product/the-owen-guns-dawn-of-the-braindead-12-lp-outtaspace or Bandcamp : https://theowenguns.bandcamp.com/album/dawn-of-the-braindead

  There'll be a limited number of cassettes available in the UK next month on Noise Merchant Records : https://www.facebook.com/noisemerchantrecords

  This song is about scandal hit global Pentecostal megachurch Hillsong, it's called Arson About...

Hillsong Church

talk about vile

Founded by the son of a dirty paedophile

Brian knew the truth and be hid his father's crimes

Frank walked the street when he should be doing time

Members in the government

Members in the cops

Rotten from the bottom

All the way to the top

Have each other's backs

And its really very suss

One law for them

Another one for us.

You know it's wrong so let's make it right

Strike up a match and burn down hillsong church tonight

A money making scam

Brainwashing cult

And that's a fact

And please tell me why they don't pay any tax

Assets and property

Money in the bank

Hundreds of millions

And none of it is taxed

Got a TV station

And a record label too.

Christian Rock music

And It sounds like poo.

If you've got money

They'll let you through the door

But your not welcome

If your gay or your poor

They've got a list

Of the things that God forbids

Doesn't stop the pastors

From touching little kids...

You know it's wrong so let's make it right

Strike up a match and burn down hillsong church tonight

A money making scam

Brainwashing cult

And that's a fact

And please tell me why they don't pay any tax
