Unrivalled (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555759871216) are a new oi/punk band from Cornwall who feature a line up of Mike Brands (vocals), James Lee Grose (guitar), Tyler Ireson (drums), Dan Murray (guitar) and Callum Sims (bass). I don't know much about them as yet though Mike Brands is familiar from his time with Arch Rivals (he also chose his Top 10 songs for this blog back in the days when I pestered people to do such things https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2017/01/top-10-songs-selected-by-mike-brands.html).
What I do know is that they play "angry yet melodic punk music with socio-political commentary" and that they've a debut 4 track ep on the way. They're also supporting Control at Camden's Dublin Castle on the 29th of this month.
This is the title track of the ep and it's a great introduction. It "takes a look at the futility of destroying physical symbols in the hope of bringing about change and comments on the fragility of the people who put so much faith into inanimate objects. A lesson to consider more carefully about who we raise monuments to in the first place."
It's called Statues...
