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
Over the past ten years or so, there have been a lot of cosmetic changes to Sunderland, in an attempt to improve it's image - to move on from "depressed industrial town" to "bright new up and coming post-industrial city". Personally, I think these superficial changes are a waste of money. The fact that it is all aimed at outside investors gives the lie to it - we still depend on investment cos, despite appearances, we, as a city, are still skint. Nothing has really changed in that respect. What has changed is that the city is becoming more and more polarised, between black and white, rich and poor. Sunderland has never exactly been multicultural - according to the 2001 census, 98.1% of the people in Sunderland described themselves as white British. Since the polytechnic became a university, foreign students have become very conspicuous in Sunderland, and there has been an increase in racist incidents. The BNP's (unsuccessful, I'm proud to say) electoral campaigns here have been well documented. In addition to that, the economic shift from manufacturing to service work has thrown thousands of people on the economic scrapheap: Sunderland has a very large and visible underclass. So despite all the cosmetic changes, I'm not too optimistic about our future.
