Yesterday I mentioned that I'm hard at work putting together the annual Just Some Punk Songs Top 100 songs of 2023. It's a pretty much impossible task so to try and do a good job as possible I've been revisiting loads of the releases I enjoyed throughout the year. Many of the songs that'll feature have appeared on this blog or on the show but quite a few were passed over in favour of different tracks. Today's song didn't get played on the show and after checking up I was surprised to discover the band have never featured on the blog. An oversight that needs correcting.
Dick Move (https://www.facebook.com/DickMoveNZ) are from Auckland, New Zealand and feature a line up of Lucy Suttor (Lead Vocals), Lucy Macrae (Bass Guitar), Hariet Ellis (Guitar), Justin Rendell (Guitar) & Luke Boyes (Drums/Cymbals). October saw the release of their 2nd album, it's called Wet and it's a blistering 20+ minutes of angry and energetic "socialist party punk" rock. You can find it on vinyl and digital download here : https://dickmove2.bandcamp.com/album/wet
The songs that were initially released as singles or stood out on initial listens and therefore got played on the show were Under My Skin (A Love Song), Small Man Big Tweet and Feel Better but in the course of knocking this goddamn Top 100 into shape I found myself drawn to a new favourite. This one positively growls from the get go, it's about scraping by on the breadline, hand to mouth waiting for a trickle down that's never going to come. It's called Minimum Living...
