THOSE FUCKING SNOWFLAKES - SINGLE REVIEW

Those Fucking Snowflakes Feat. Tom Robinson - 
Straight Pride Week (The Recording Industry Is Dead, Records)

Release Date: Out Now

I have to admit to thinking that Blackpool's Those Fucking Snowflakes had long since disbanded and then, when I saw that they had returned, I assumed they'd written an anti LGBTQ+ Reform anthem. Luckily, I was wrong and 'Straight Pride Week' is dripping in irony from the start as it features some spoken word, sorry, bile from Piers Morgan before hitting the chorus straight away and sweeping us away on a tide of inclusive punk. This is a proper romp with a sing-a-long chorus and a strong message with lyrics like "Prosectuing Alan Turing for the crime of being gay, a national hero was chemically castrated. This can't happen again, this is why there's a pride" getting the message across as clear as day with added Tom Robinson on backing vocals just for the fuckery of it.
