Riskee and the Ridicule - My Name

  


  This morning, I noticed one of my friends on Facebook asking the question "Do you think punk died before 1983?" 

  The obvious answer is of course it didn't. 

  A Just Some Punk Songs return today for South East grime punks Riskee and the Ridicule  (https://www.facebook.com/RiskeeandtheRidicule), a band (Scott Picking (Lyrics/Lead Vocals), Jimbo Aglony (Guitars/Screams), Jordan Mann (Lead Guitar) & Matt Verrell (Bass/Drums)) that are influenced by those days before 1983 but who are fresh faced enough not to have experienced them first hand. That said, they can still produce the same levels of energy and excitement of that era for a newer generation of fans. 

  They've a new album on the way. It'll be out on August 25th and titled Platinum Statue. 

  I doubt punk will ever die whilst people still have something worthwhile to say and still have the passion to shout it out loud. This is the band's new single, it's called My Name...

You know my name but I don’t know yours. We’re not the same and that’s my get out clause.
You know my name but I don’t know yours. We’re not the same, not the same, not the same, not the same.


You lot got real fucking brave, keyboard at your fingertips now you got shit to say? Don’t feed the trolls they’re under the bridge for a reason, the beautiful people walk the bridge and go on to somewhere decent.

Face to face you’ve got shit to say it’s beef and I’m eating. I’m taking off heads like I’m the king and this is treason. The capitalist machine the music industry is in parts, first the mainstream will eat anything they put into the charts. Second it’s not about talent it’s about who’s down to sell their hearts and third is watch the underground and go steal all of its art. Fucking Rembrandts and the Nazis imposters hiding in the dark and any musicians who want it can get it I’ll come and tear you all apart.

You you you you better watch your mouth, I’ll come to your show and I will bang you out. I’m the fucking landlord, this is my house I am not normal I am something else.

Da da da da da da da da da da, da da da da da da da da

I’m gargantuan, I’m in your mouth like calcium, one speed it maximum, the big cat's here so mousy run. Bring me a better rapper than me and I’ll sing, bring me a better singer than me and I’ll rap. If you find someone’s who’s better at both I’ll write them a better hook for their track. Blap!

If you always do what you did you’ll always get what you got, you got to evolve to roll big kid, you can’t simmer for too long stay hot. The power's always with the people, the future the present the past, not a single lightbulb illuminates without the say of the working class.

You know my name, but I don’t know yours. We’re not the same and that’s my get out clause.

If you ain’t running away how can they catch you? You shine through the black you platinum statue.
