We Live Here
Mum don't look like me
But thank God she still loved me
Neighbours called me nigga
Told me "go back to my own country"
Said since we arrived
This place has got so ugly
But this is my fucking country
And it's never been fucking lovely
Who
The compelling London duo whose anarchic blend of music has certified them a new and assertive phenomenon.
What
Grime and punk in a head on collision, exploding on impact with a message of defiance, pride and power. We Live Here is a timely representation of real Britain, and spits in the faces of those perpetuating their own brand of monoculturalism. Revolution is in the air, and this is the soundtrack.
With
Slaves, Tricky, Slowthai and Black Flag.
