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 ...

Story behind the song
Take a close look at just about any social or political problem, from crime and unemployment to famines and wars, and you will find that directly and indirectly, the root cause is the nature of the economic system. A good deal of crime derives from the fact that our society is based on competition rather than cooperation; unemployment is an inevitable result of production geared towards profits rather than needs. The number one cause of hunger isn't drought or floods, but poverty - some 18 million people die of hunger every year because they are too poor to afford food (look at the Irish famine of the late 1840s: because the best farmland was in the hands of absentee landlords who charged extortionate rents, the poorest were forced to exist on potatoes, as they feed more people per acre than any other crop. When the potato crops were hit by disease, the result was devastating: 1 million people died over four years, and throughout that time, Ireland was actually exporting foods like meat and grain to Britain - there was plenty of food, but because it was produced for profit, that excluded any chance of feeding the starving poor.) As for war, I have only to point at Iraq to make myself understood. The damage being done by the capitalist system, to society, to the environment, to our bodies, is beyond reckoning. Capitalism must be destroyed before it destroys us.
