    They also did a horrifically cringey pro-EU tune (Can EU hear me?) and can be very lib, so… swings and roundabouts.

    lol I was wondering if they would all be this good. Does the good outweigh the lib, in your opinion? Worth adding to my library? Per a mention from one of the Bob’s, I added Amyl and the Sniffers and been enjoying them a bit. I feel too old for them at times, but overall seem cool.

      I’m not an expert, I’ve just seen them live quite a few years ago and have liked bits and pieces over the years. They’re not a go to band for me (I like my punk more hardcore basically - Bad Breeding would be my main suggestion of actual ideological leftist contemporary UK punk) and they vary quite a bit.

      The first couple of records are a bit different from their early EPs and two of the band quit a few years ago and the newer stuff from the duo is slightly different again. I’d just listen to a smattering of stuff on YouTube or whatever and see what and how much of it you like.

        Word. Appreciate it, I’ll check them out. Also, thanks for mentioning Bad Breeding. They’re a bit harder than my everyday listening but they’ll definitely fit some of my moods. stalin-approval
