Scottish indie rabble rousers The Snuts return with new single ‘Burn The Empire’.
The band’s debut album ‘W.L.’ crashed into the charts at number one on its release this summer, bolstered by some high profile live shows.
Produced by Detonate at Angelic Studio, new single ‘Burn The Empire’ continues their story by tapping into the discontent moving across the country.
As the band put it: “This is first and foremost a protest song about today’s empire of corrupt corporations and bastard politicians. An educated, healthy and confident nation is harder to govern…”
Rattling indie riffs topped off with a fist-pumping chorus, ‘Burn The Empire’ opens with a sample of Tony Benn’s voice, dissecting the means through which authorities engineer social apathy.
Lead singer Jack Cochrane comments…
“I wanted the word ‘empire’ to feel open, almost rhetorical to what constitutes or qualifies as an oppressive factor in your life, because it certainly exists for 99% of people. We were driven to standup against the negative effects of big corporations on the everyday person. We all understand that these companies act ruthlessly and unethically in the name of profit.”
“I think young people have always wanted a fairer and more equal society and it’s the voices of the old, the discontent and the ignorant that try and squash that. We believe in 2022 there is no place for fascism or oppression of any kind and we must burn the empire that represents it.”
Tune in now.
