DEUX FURIEUSES BRING DOWN THE GOVERNMENT

The not-so-subtly titled ‘Bring Down The Government’ is the latest offering from punk duo Deux Furieuses. Lyrically, it takes aim at the shambolic UK government, and specifically their handling of the pandemic. After sparking into life during a jam, the track “soon became a musical grenade aimed at the dark heart of Boris Johnson’s Conservative Government which we both felt to be disastrous for the country in its handling of the Covid pandemic. The care home tragedy was a scandal that affected us personally.” The pair are known for their energetic and powerful live shows, in which this track is a staple. They’re on tour around the UK this summer. -Dan Peeke.
