Vile Assembly - Company Policy

  

  A song that's possibly as topical today as it's ever been. 

  Liverpool's Vile Assembly (https://www.facebook.com/TheVileAssembly) return to Just Some Punk Songs with a blistering attack on the wealth disparity between the haves and the have nots and the lengths that the rich will go to in order to keep the downtrodden underfoot. Vocalist Paul Mason is on top form as he wails "You've got to pay your subscriptions, treat it like an insurance payment, pay to the rich, before you can legally rob the poor." As I'm sure a certain Mr Sunak and his wife will attest, you don't have to break the law, you  just have to know how to get around it. It's a rich man's world baby! 

  The song is just one of the highlights off a new album called Songs For The Disquiet. It's a suitably politicised record by a band that are self proclaimed whistle-blowers on the unjust society. It's an album that comments on fake news egging us on, about the rich using the police to quell discontent and how the ruling classes are sailing this ship. It's a carefully considered treatise on society, a society in which those at the top will go to any extremes to stay there.

  This track is called Company Policy... 

Vile Assembly - Not Quite Fair

  Vile Assembly (https://www.facebook.com/TheVileAssembly/) are the Liverpool based whistle blowers on an unjust society who proclaim that "The Truth Is Our Weapon Of Choice!!" They've featured on here several times previously and you can check out their previous releases here :   https://vileassembly.bandcamp.com/

  They return today with an impressive new single. It's a powerful song about the messed up system we're living in and is accompanied by a hard hitting video which contains some of the footage you'll have seen on your tv screens during the coverage of the Black Lives Matter protests. Pointing out how the police are being used by the rich to quell those they should be helping it calls for the feral elite to be crushed. It asks why instead of protecting our interests the government are more concerned with lining their pockets.

 We live in an unjust society where the protectors are in fact the oppressors. This is Not Quite Fair...

Vile Assembly - Propaganda

  Today I'm following up yesterday's "vituperative 79 second eruption of anger and rage" with something a little more considered but no less critical as it shines a light on the media hypocrites that run the UK.

  Vile Assembly are a Liverpool based band who were conceived solely to be whistle-blowers on the unjust society. They write songs "about a world that's turning to shit" and about "being authentic and true to who you are and what you believe in." Their message is getting through, reviewers are throwing around superlatives like confetti at a wedding and no less a band than The Damned have chosen them as their support act in Wolverhampton later this month. You can check out details and get more info here :  https://www.facebook.com/TheVileAssembly/  and here :   https://www.vileassembly.co.uk

  The new single rails against the lies purported to be true by those that are pushing an agenda, "those that protect the elite whilst providing an illusion of democratic choice." It tells us to think for ourselves and not to be taken in by what we read, don't fall for their smoke and mirror tricks.  It's called Propaganda...

Vile Assembly - Last Century Man

  Vile Assembly are the Liverpool band who's Division Of Labour song featured on here early last year (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2018/02/vile-assembly-division-of-labour.html). They return today with new single and if anything it's even better.

  Titled Last Century Man, it originally appeared on their 2017 ep, The Elephant In The Room but in these days of "careerist politicians, corporate culture and the worldwide exploitation of those most vulnerable" it's sadly more relevant than ever. The pace of the song is considered and as you'll see in the video it's got a strong groove running through it that even the likes of Donald Trump and Charlie Windsor can boogie on down to. Frontman Paul Mason's vocals have been compared to those of a certain mr J Lydon and I can certainly hear some similarities. One of a number of bands holding up a mirror to reflect society's ills, Vile Assembly deserve your attention.

Vile Assembly - Division Of Labour

 

  Vile assembly are the Liverpool based band that have been getting people to sit up and take notice . Forming with the intention of being whistle blowers on an unjust society, not only are they spreading their message at home, they've been picking up plenty of radio play in The States. They've come to the notice of legendary dj Rodney Bingenheimer and they'll also be playing a few west coast shows (including an industry show at SIR Studios). Add to this a support slot with The Damned in Paris at the end of May, they're a band you'll be hearing more of.

  Featuring 3 friends (Paul Mason, Mark Webb & Mark Wainwright), they'd owned a music studio in Liverpool for a couple of decades but hadn't contemplated making music themselves. Budding poet, and now lyricist and vocalist, Paul Mason was very firmly of the opinion that the world was a vile place, this opinion was reinforced following his decision to spend a month sleeping rough on the streets of Liverpool and San Diego. He found it both horrendous and inspirational and years later Vile Assembly were born in an attempt to shine a spotlight on the ills of modern society.

  They've already picked up global recognition following the release of their first 2 singles, Suicide Feast and Gone. Now they return with a new single which is from debut album, Fattened By The Horrors Of War.

   Great music, intelligent lyrics (in this case railing against corrupt politicians and corporate criminals), what's not to love. This is Division Of Labour....
