London Ska/Punk collective The King Blues have just dropped a ferrous no holes bared universal declaration of fury and non-compliance in the face of cuts and austerity.
‘We Are Fucking Angry’ is loud, brash and raw with catchy as hell shout-a-long choruses. Easy to see it as a UK response to The Mighty Stef’s ‘We Want Blood‘, there are striking similarities between the two, not in sound or styles but certainly their messages are in sync.
‘We Are Fucking Angry’ is available for download for FREE via bandcamp and taken from the forthcoming album Punk & Poetry out this April.
The King Blues play Dublin’s Academy on Saturday, March 26th. Tickets €16.
EDIT: The video has been taken down with the following message left, “This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by YEAH! Films Company”. Not sure if this is permanent of temporary yet, shame.
Wasn’t their debut single “I Got Love”?!?!
What’s happened in two years??
There has always been a touch of politics to them.
Perhaps the near collapse of western capitalism is inspiring them.
Seriously?! A TOUCH of politics to them?! Have you listened to ANY of there songs before?!
It’s a turn of phrase. Only listened to the first record, a long while ago though.
For me personally they were always a bit hit and miss, trying a little to hard at times maybe. Just my opinion.
Smart move would be to dig it out again.
