Since Theresa May’s undemocratic coronation, she has tried to style herself as a centrist – with worker’s rights and equality at heart. During the party conference, however, it has become clear she either doesn’t care that that mask is slipping or – more likely – she thinks the entire British electorate is as thick as […]

Club Trumpicana
Good luck, American working class friends. Good luck world. Perhaps by the end of this Presidential term we will all have gold doors.

The Agitator
Are you agitated? You should be… This rabble-rousing act feature 24yr-old Derek Meins on vocals, accompanied by both Robert Dylan Thomas and ‘T-Train’ on thunderous double-drums. Derek’s force-of-nature voice and rallying-call songs are unashamedly political but aim to inspire and energise rather than dictate some dubious ideology. The Agitator’s music is stripped-down, loud and in […]
Pilgrims
A sound born in a storm. This is what happened when a bird fell from the sky and foxes followed us home. This is supernatural, homespun honesty. This is soup, at 4am. This is a map of the stars that trace our fate. This is paprika tea. This is animal instinct. This is our […]
