Sonny by The Rubber Bandits - 2017

The Rubber Bandits came to my attention with "Horse Outside" in 2011. They have been a constant comfort to the revolution for the Irish and all of us.

Sonny attacks the staggering stagnation due to the criminalization of the mentally ill and addicted.

According to Wikiepedia Blindboy Boatclub has criticised the art establishment in Ireland, saying that: "[Galleries and museums] preach only to the converted. They remind us of churches, pure solemn and inhabited by very silent people who don't open their mouths, for fear that someone else might find out that they don't fully understand the art that's on display. Art galleries in Ireland are like big vegan churches, and the curator always wears black, like a priest, and the visitors are there for the free wine. Most people who attend Irish galleries are other artists, and they all whisper to each other about commissioning opportunities inside imaginary confessional boxes."

Hell yeah.
