Charity hilarity
Starving millions
Prevention, cure
A few pence shed and both are fed."

I've seen the light....Skin up for Jesus! (A spray painted slogan and Sunday Sermon of sorts.)
Preachers and Pilgrims on Parade,
getting ready for their morning raid, gathering on street corners
armed to the teeth with the words of false prophets, speaking
salvation to the soulless strangers they find on their door to door
assault, holding people up at Bible point. Organised Religion....
Organised Crime. People wouldn't put up with drug dealers knocking
on their door selling opium, (well some people might) so why should
we put up with these witnesses of Jehovah peddling and pushing their
drug of choice to the vulnerable who are looking for a way to cope
with their life's slow suicide. We live our lives in worlds of our
own making, where the only people that can change it are themselves.
Drugs numb or kill the pain, religious dope brings nothing but false
hope; There is no after life....just life. There are many ways of
dealing with today, but they aint gonna come knocking on your door.
It is up to people to find their own way, and without wanting to
sound like Bono (further proof that there is no god, because if there
was Bono would have fallen out of his aircraft the other day when the
door opened mid-flight.) many “still haven't found what they are
looking for.” Which is why on a Sunday I either don't answer any
strangers knocks on the door, and if I do they are politely told to
FUCK OFF!, unless they are a drug dealer!!

ENEMIES OF PROMISE - Please Enjoy Your Punk Rock Responsibility (*A Review*)
Please Enjoy Your Punk Rock
Responsibility is the debut mini-album from Enemies Of Promise, a
couple of fellas from Wolverhampton who are armed to the teeth with a
fully loaded pistol of six killer tracks, their weapons of choice
are; a couple of guitars, vocals and a drum machine, and they have
their sights firmly trained on the usual suspects; politicians,
bankers and anyone else that stands in the way of social justice.
This is a righteous riot of a listen, I mean check out these
titles.... Palace of The Mighty, Edge of War, Please Enjoy Your Punk
Rock Responsibility, You Have The Right To Strike, My Heart Is Still
Red, The Man In Authority....
The vocals deliver a throaty tunefull state of the nation
address to the dispossessed. and disillusioned and anyone else that
wants to listen and learn. The music is toe taping and fist in the
air thumping Post Punk'n'Pop Rock. Guitars chug and chop over the rat a
tat, tat of a machine gun drum machine, Less is definitely more
because there are times across these six tracks when Enemies Of
Promise have just as much power as say.... The Jam, SLF, or the
Newtown Neurotics there are also some great Punk Rock Everly
Bruthas vocal harmonies thrown into the mix. This is catchy and
confident stuff....pure, simple and honest. Enemies Of Promise know
the power of music and how it can change lives this album is a
sound track for revolution, and it's one call up you should answer sign up at their facebook page, where you can
find out details of how to get your punk responsibility, and trust
me....you will enjoy it!

Doing something for a month in the aid
of charity. I don't know if this is just a British thing, but we've
had Stoptober (October) when the British people were encouraged to
stop drinking/getting drunk for the whole month, now it's my personal
unfavourite, Movember (November) when men are encouraged to grow a
moustache for the month. For fucks sake what's wrong with people,
why do they feel the need to do something because they have been told
to. I mean give up drinking grow a moustache do whatever, but do it
whenever, not when some campaign tells you to do it, and give money
to charity when you want to with no gimmicks attached. As for all
the people that do follow the calls because they feel they have some
social obligation to do so, someone needs to wake them up by throwing
a bucket of ice cold water over them....no wait up they've probably
already done that to themselves with the 'ice bucket challenge' In the bigger picture sometimes it
is the small things that matter, fascism comes in many disguises,and people do stupid and dumb things if they are brainwashed enough.
