Spreading the Word...

Guess who's back and pissed off again? 
Bastards in power nobody stopping them
So I'm ticking my shit list off again
Now who do we kill? 
Blood on our hands man history's evil
God save the queen bald headed eagle
We bomb innocent people to save innocent people
This ain't just stupid it's "Stupid: The Sequel"

OFF WITH THEIR HEADS

Mmhmm, you got it folks, The King Blues are back again!! I've only recently discovered this band, but oh my goodness, they are so honest. The above paragraph are some lyrics from one of their newest songs, Off With Their Heads, and it's kind of a bit vulgar (lots of swears, etc.), but also very relevant, and I feel that this is something that in today's society, we really, really need. 
This band has a voice, and they aren't afraid to use it..

However

They are't allowed to use this voice. Thanks to media such as Facebook, the reach of their posts is being limited; apparently their work has been flagged as 'offensive', meaning that they can't get it out to people, and the release on iTunes has also been flagged -for reasons unknown - meaning that it's unavailable to be purchased from there. 
Off With Their Heads cover artThere are obviously good things about this - the band are no longer being ripped off by iTunes, because, let's face it, iTunes rips off artists, but it also means their music isn't out there, because iTunes is the one of the biggest music retailers in the world.. So, obviously, there's a bit of a problem.. 

The album, also titled Off With Their Heads is a hard-hitting, pure punk album, and it's everything I needed to hear; with songs ranging from authentic punk anthems, to breathtakingly beautiful poems, this is definitely an album that you need to listen to. It's so thought-provoking, and kind of tear-inducing.. I urge you to give it a listen, and if you like it, share it around!
The band has released this album on their own record label, Meatball Records, and they have no PR or promotion team behind them. I guess it's because they're a punk band, and all?? So yes, check it out on The King Blues' BandCamp, and tell your friends!!

You owe it to the punks out there!
Rage and love,
