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
