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
I wrote the lyrics for this a few months ago when there was a lot of food contamination scares resulting in loads of products being removed from the shelves cos they contained Sudan-1. This is straight up Crass-inspired punk - not only in the style of the lyrics, but also the tune, which was inspired by their "Mickey Mouse Is Dead". I finally got the finished version of this track done - cheers Andreas!
Lyrics
Food on the supermarket shelves Looks good enough to eat But you'd better think twice Cos it's full of toxic shit Pesticides and additives And colourants - yum yum! And mutant genes spliced in by Some scientist just for fun Shit food is symptomatic Of a shit society It's a basic human need Being fucked up by greed Appearance is all that matters So don't ask for anything more So long as you've got a shiny skin You can be rotten at the core Just shut up and swallow! Same principles rule politics The fuckers get away with murder They dress it up as self-defence So their greed goes that much further They talk about democracy They talk about human rights They talk about the national interest And you fall for it every time It's all fucking lies! See all the glossy adverts Subtle hints how you must be Slim and tanned and fashionable That's all we ever see Cos they're telling you what you want By coincidence, what they've got Now be a good consumer and buy Buy! Buy! Bye! For fuck's sakes, spit it out!
