| Life - Euromillions |
Release Date: Out Now
There’s definitely something
stirring up in Hull at the moment with a steady stream of new artists nudging
their way out of the City of Culture. Life (seriously, no other band has used
that before?) are the latest and they are pretty pissed off which is just what
I’ve been looking for in 2017. This track, ‘Euromillions’, see the brothers Mez
and Mick present a double fronted attack over the top of a sinister bass line
and sneering guitars – this song is all about the lyrics. “I could have
screamed bloody murder, don’t believe the buses”, “Dragon slayer bulldog
wrapped in a red cross”, “Redneck racist eagle, draped in delusion built a wall
across his borders”. Life are seeing and hearing what we’re all hearing and
seeing but they’re using their voice to say something about it whilst sounding
like the Fall and NARCS. This is abrasive and, for some, uncomfortable but for
me this is the tip of the ice-berg. If 2017 isn’t full of protest songs and
instead all we hear is songs about sex and dancing in clubs then there really
is no hope for our world.
