OUR WINGED SISTERS BY OI POLLOI
Bees. We need 'em for our continued survival as a species. But they're dying in vast numbers. How to raise awareness of this. How about with some anarcho-punk? Perfect.
We can only guess at the band meeting that ended with this record being made, but we're damn glad it happened. It's taken from Oi Polloi's new LP Saorsa, their sixth studio LP. Translated from the Scottish Gaelic, it means 'Freedom' or 'Liberty' and that's the over-riding theme of this unashamedly political record, as is their stock-in trade.
Just don't forget the bees and the neonicotinoid pesticides.
Saorsa is out now on Bremen's Ruin Nation Records (catalogue number Bollox 038. Obviously). Find the band at oipolloi.org
