Punk & Poetry

A high-gloss collision of ukulele-led folk punk, London street poetry, and defiant ska. Polished yet furious anthems for the disillusioned and the hopeful.

April 18, 2011 · Transmission

A fierce, high-energy blend of political rage and romantic optimism set against a gritty urban backdrop.

Moments Worth Listening For

The transition from the hushed spoken-word intro of the opener into the explosive, profanity-laden roar of track 2.

The bright, percussive ukulele strumming that anchors the surprisingly catchy pop-punk melody of I Want You.

The visceral, chanted refrain of We Are Fucking Angry that feels like a field recording from a riot.
