\u201cThis is my f**king country and it\u2019s never been f**king lovely\u201d screams the dreadlocked, Crass T-Shirt wearing frontman. This is Bob Vylan<\/a><\/strong> and it\u2019s certainly not music to relax to on Sunday afternoon!<\/p>\n

Combining elements of Grime and Punk, Industrial and Hardcore, the London duo\u2019s debut release We Live Here<\/em> has seen them quickly become cult favourites among underground music fans. Deemed by the music industry as too extreme to release, the duo were not to be dissuaded, self-releasing the EP on Bandcamp only in an effort to make it available to everyone.<\/p>\n

Yet, it is not just the ear-splitting hip-hop enthused punk that has been drawing fans, but also the strong issues that the band choose to confront. Racism, police brutality, throw-away culture, disenfranchised youth, systemic oppression are all tackled in lyrics that hold no punches and obvious comparisons to Sleaford Mods have been made by the observant amongst us.<\/p>\n

What better way to start the week!<\/p>\n

Bob Vylan play The Musician, Crafton St West on Tuesday 3rd August, Doors 7pm. Support comes from Witch Fever<\/strong>. Tickets are priced at \u00a310 and are available from See Tickets.<\/a><\/p>\n
