“Obviously I fucking hate the Tories, I fucking hate Keir Starmer, it’s all against the people,” Big Special’s Joe Hicklin told NME when quizzed about the band’s politics last year. “The working class might as well be completely fucking invisible. It’s all wank. I just wish it would all burn down so we could start again.”
It’s a fair manifesto for a time where there are no absolutes, just an absolute shower. Nothing changes. Rather than the futility of standing on a soapbox and shouting for change, there’s more eloquence in showing the grit and the beauty of the everyday and saying, ‘We matter’. As drummer Callum Moloney put it, “Anyone who is disenfranchised against this system built against us is going to understand our music.”
