Nancy No Shoes - Nil By Mouth

  Way back in May of last year I posted a song by new South Wales hardcore punks Nancy No Shoes and said that it was part of a debut ep (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2018/05/nancy-no-shoes-crimes-against-humonarchy.html). Over 12 months later the ep still hasn't surfaced but another song from it has. It's another winner so I'm banging on about it today.

  The band feature's Jimbob from Pizzatramp and Nicola from Brassick and so it's probably no surprise that their music is a full on aural assault. Both songs thus far unleashed are impressive beasts indeed. Whereas the previous one dealt with the removal of Windsor's homeless from the streets in order to keep them out of sight of the world's media during the Royal wedding, this new song is another political broadside, this time about the social care system. It highlights how it's been torn apart and sold off and how people and families are extorted whilst staff are overworked, underpaid and undervalued. It's about how heartbreaking it is seeing people making fortunes out of the suffering of the elderly whilst those in power sit by apathetically.


  They promise the ep will be out soon so hopefully I'm not posting the 3rd song from it next year. I'm sure this will whet your appetites, it's called Nil By Mouth...

Nancy No Shoes - Crimes Against Humonarchy

 

  So did you all enjoy the Royal wedding????? I'm guessing the band I'm featuring today weren't glued to their tv sets.

  Nancy No Shoes hail from South Wales and are a fast & frantic hardcore punk band who feature amongst their ranks Jimbob Logan from Pizzatramp and Nicola Hardy from Brassick. They're a new band that I know pretty much nothing about, I can't even find a decent photo to post at the top of this update. What I do know, after listening to the song you'll find below, is that they're bloody good, extremely pissed off and the joint male & female vocals remind me a little of Huntington Beach hardcore heroes F Minus.

  The only track I've heard by them so far is the one you'll find below. It definitely leaves me wanting more (especially as Jimbob describes it as "not even the best song on the EP! Some smashers on there!"). Very timely it is too, revealing how the MP for Windsor, Simon Dudley, decided it would be a good idea to coerce the police into removing the homeless from the streets in order to make the town look pretty for the world's cameras. Homeless people were to be kept out of sight though you were seemingly perfectly fine to sleep rough if wrapped in Union Jack flags and were there go catch a glimpse of the happy couple. In the words of Nancy No Shoes, "fuck Simon Dudley, fuck the Royal family and fuck the elitist tories too".

  This is Crimes Against Humonarchy....

Crimes
You just cant sweep them into the gutter You're disconnected Can't even see it Face of a charity You dont even feel it Need some work done And tourisms fun But think where we'd be If you werent thinking of one Here comes the day Tax paid parade Just smile and wave boys Keep up the charade Straight off the streets Straight out of Windsor Like shovelling shit With a spoon made of silver Where's your empathy Where's you heart Dont know why we're asking We knew from the start Crimes Against Humonarchy If a lion could speak Cant tell it dont eat No frame of reference
