i havent actually heard their music yet but i have read some of their lyrics ( i read about them in a magazine today and went to their site).
heres one song:
charlie and the propaganda myth machine
if every child chased dreams of societal reorganization in place of sweet wrappers and escape, then we would see mr cadbury’s enlightened industrialism for what it really fucking is: social morphine – we’d have ourselves a pre-school army. walt disney is pushing social and sexual hierarchy, my bed-time stories like a gmtv gomulka. slumbering in my jimmy-jammies, my wondrous imagination long since closed and put away. willy wonka was a capitalist confidence trickster, a poster boy for neo-liberalism, a full-stop on revolt. and the bfg a propagandist for an unaccountable regime, orwell’s vision with a wrinkled face. hold out the arm and quiet the voice. my first macdonald’s visit a vaccination, like the time my parents took me to the school / clinic, and handed me over to the teacher / nurse / whatever. i too got sucked in by the myth machine. unattainable, but i just wish we weren’t so fucking mindless. drowned in a recurring nightmare of causal influence. a little more suspicion in our fairy tales please. mum and dad, i’m sorry, i won’t do what enid blyton told me. our jealousy at their opportunity: the once weak will one day rule this world. the monsters underneath the bed are merely jaded failings.
and a lil from the song :
the kids are going to love it
the ultimate expression of consumerism - the wholesale commodification of sensation. the ultimate rejection of asceticism - the doors of perception kicked in. the ultimate acceptance of conservatism - a fierce passion subsumed and corrupted. the ultimate bisection of ethicalism - as you imbibe the denial of choice. if i can see straight i can’t lie. let’s put an end to this falsehood, to the conception that this is different.

well till i actually hear them i'll stand behind them, if any one hads heard them - what do u think?
