Our first EP! Share if you agree! ;)
We recorded this EP ourselves during the not-quite-general strike of February 2023. The tracks are live takes from a couple of sessions in Koshka’s living room.
Four Fights is the name of our union’s dispute over sh*tty conditions and the triumph of the profit motive in the education sector.
The four songs here are a mix of brand new ideas barely coming together and stuff we’ve been messing around with for years.
Not just, a love song is about struggling to hold relationships together while reality’s cracking at the seams.
Josephine Sunshine is a dead of night folky incantation of a liberation legend.
We are we wrote in the aftermath of the 2019 general election defeat and the death of our comrade, Sean Bonney. You can find Sean’s poems in the lyrics along with other fragments of struggles past and present.
Fairytale ending is about the sexist sinkhole that is respectable domesticity, and the risks and rewards of running like hell in the other direction.
Workers of the world, enjoy!
La lotta continua.
SG xx

‘… spectating the lashes, the rubber, the gases / the pigs with their blankets suffocating the masses / with batons and bullets, free murder passes /repetitive farces cry property damage / while mortgages manage the usual targets / are moving and turning the tables and taking / bacterial princes on tour on their shoulders / singing songs of the scaffold / WITNESS THE SOVEREIGN / the statues are drowning and drawing new lines / from electric liquids to pride in their crimes / and I… the vegetarian.’
