Punish the Poor. A peek between the lies of the Tory Party manifesto. Going on their past record, whatever they promise, this is what they do.

lyrics

Punish, punish the poor
No hope left, we understand
Bleeding beggar on the fat of the land
On your bike, go get a job, no excuses
You can’t find work? - your character’s wrong
Your bad choices one by one
Mean you’re worth what you’re worth just like me
This is a meritocracy
Punish, punish the poor
No mistake, there is an issue
The working class are the cause of the trouble
What you lot need is a short sharp shock
We’ll find a way to deepen the hole
Make it impossible to live on the dole
Down in the gutter, freezing on the street
That’ll soon teach you to find your feet
Punish, punish the poor
And we’re working for money not you
While you’re painting all the boroughs blue
We’ll make life so hard, for your disgusting underclass
Cut off the honey, slash - burn - save my money
Making life hard for your disgusting underclass

In Condemnation
by Pandemix

Unique harsh but melodic vocals over a shimmering backwash of dark, angry, intense music. Who Killed Nancy Johnson?

S/T
by Hammered Hulls

Self-titled three-track EP. All three songs are strong, but the first, Written Words, is utterly brilliant - clever, rippling with energy, and an inventive ending. Who Killed Nancy Johnson?

Sinking In LP (LUNGS-145)
by ACRYLICS

Released in November 2019 and a late contender for record of the year. Hard-edged hardcore and post-hardcore with a really inventive approach to song construction. Who Killed Nancy Johnson?
