TOUTS BOMB SCARE

TOUTS describe themselves as "a three piece band from Derry, Ireland. A singer that can't sing, a mod that can't play bass and a drummer that can't see". They've certainly got a punk attitude but their visceral new single 'Bomb Scare' might just prove that description wrong. It's an explosive take on the classic 70s punk pioneered by The Sex Pistols and The Clash, which addresses the horrible acts of injustice occurring around the globe, most notably the shootings in Charlotte, North Carolina that sparked controversy back in June. Singer Matthew Crossan explains: “The song was written around the time when the news was covering the injustice in America, when Keith Scott was ‘shot down in Charlotte’ for no apparent reason. The song is also about the on-going refugee crisis, it’s morally important for people to help people, and you never know when you yourself may need help.” -HLMX
