Take old skool rave, add indie/punk sensibilities and anarchist politics, shake vigorously, then see what happens...
Total semi-competent amateur and proud of it! There are currently 10 full albums, 5 EPs and numerous stray tracks available here... keep checking up, cos more music is appearing all the time... For album and EP artwork, visit . If you think you can stomach more of this shit, then why not check the , and wonder at my musical development (or lack thereof...) I now also have a page dedicated to I've done for other people... Finally, there's also a wee side project that I have which goes by the name ...

Lyrics
I hate this strife, this mode of life Privatised, atomised, systemised dividing lines Each for themselves and the devil take the hindmost Winner takes all and it's first past the post Yet most still host the ghost of a community The safety in numbers and the strength in unity Look out for each other there's a measure of immunity 'gainst slings and arrows, we all stand in surety I've gotta insist it wasn't always like this I remember a time of more neighbourliness Up and down the street you knew people's names Games in gardens, fences climbing frames A shame kids today won't grow up the same You can blame Maggie Thatcher or the Daily Mail You can blame yourself for not jumping the rails When it's all too obvious this system's failed Cos it's not just houses, it's also the shops It's the 90 minute morning jaunt to get to your job The temporary contract, the non-union deal Your TV, your car and your microwave meal It's the commodification of your whole damn life They're playing for profit and you're paying the price The source of the sickness, like plague-bearing lice You bleed, they feed, they're parasites The Dawkins and Kropotkins of this world have made The case for the basis of mutual aid Self-interest extends beyond family and friends To the whole of society and as a process it tends To elevate what's great in the upright ape: Compassion, sacrifice, and the drive to create, Co-operate, communicate and elucidate Rise above our limitations and challenge our fate No-one ever moved a mountain working alone Without a social context you can't develop and grow Can't work the land, can't form a band So drop your ego and give Sisyphus a hand Collectively we're so much stronger When we care for the sick we live much longer Solidarity speaks straight to the heart While capitalist competition only tears us apart Solidarity elevates humanity Collectivization aids civilisation
