An album that made my top 10 of 2019 was Body Bag Your Scene by Riskee & The Ridicule. These guys are a "grime-punk" band from Kent and I don't think there are many others around doing quite what they do. This was their first single from the album and is great track that sums up what they are about and carries on from their last album, Blame Culture. This song is about the blatant scare tactics used by the right-wing media to give the illusion of danger. This illusion creates the fear of being attacked, which naturally creates hostility. ‘We attack each other to the sound of their applause because their assets are safe if we’re coming for yours’. They chose the word ‘Kaboom’ because of its use in comic books ‘to indicate a large explosion’. It is a great, catchy track from a brilliant up and coming band. Now for them to play a live show locally again....
