Punk-rock militants return with watertight new album.
The American cultural commentator Greil Marcus once observed that "to make true political music you have to say things that decent people don’t want to hear". If this is indeed the case, then Punk & Poetry, the third album from London’s young and restless The King Blues, aces this test with Mensa-like ease. Whether it is the assertion that "this is class war" on We Are F***ing Angry, or the observation that "your granddad didn’t vote for fascists, he shot them" on Shooting Fascists, this is a band expert in saying things that are both below the salt and beyond the pale.
