Demob Happy have streamed their new single, Wash It Down.
The track, which is set for release August 14 via SO Recordings, is taken from the quartet's forthcoming debut album. Discussing it, frontman Matt Marcantonio said:
“Our musicians used to give a shit about the working class because they were working class. Now all we get is trust fund rockers who don't wanna upset daddy's profits. It's become too difficult to talk about change and navigate the 'fuck the government' cliché minefield without sounding like a dick.
Shit punk and bad reggae turned protest songs into a tactless embarrassment. That crap makes my skin crawl, it's a waste of good intention. So instead we get faux sentimental recycled denial pop because most musicians don't wanna risk upsetting someone, or their lives are already too cushy to care, so it’s left up to our pampered MPs and prostitute 'experts' to peddle the same old elite favouring bullshit.
Apathy has been encouraged. The working class has been conditioned to shut up and censor themselves with first school style clever kid resent. The market demands lowest common denominator weekend-lifestyle yolo garbage pop. We're not really into in all that.”
