I first featured Dark Harvest Commandos (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559276021875) about 18 months ago (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2024/07/dark-harvest-commandos-clown-island.html). As noted on their Facebook page they're 4 individuals from Glasgow who play fast and furious hardcore, still angry, still DIY with roots via Disaffect, Quarantine, Thisclose and countless more.
Those 4 individuals are Mhairi (Vocals), Mark (Bass), Brian (Guitar) & Tommy (Drums).
I've just cottoned onto the fact that towards the end of 2025 they released a 7 track ep titled Numb Down The Pain. It's available on Bandcamp as a name your price download :

This is the opening blitzkrieg, it's called Prime Real Estate...
Everything is up for sale
Gentrification
Progress to the banal and stale-
Everything has a price
In the land of corporate greed
Prime Real Estate!
Places destroyed
Our towns and cities bleed
Serving corporate interests
Not what common folk need
It’s not like the old days
Local shops and locally sourced
Every high street looks the same
Empty buildings, Yuppy flats!
Prime Real Estate
Everything is up for sale
Gentrification
Progress to the banal and stale-
Everything has a price
In the land of corporate greed
Prime Real Estate!
Decimate our communities
Scatter us far and wide
History and heritage
Wilfully, cast aside.
