Australian punk rock act 2Mums has a new EP out in Bushmaster: Side A’, through Riot Records.
A dark and heavy offering focused on violence and destruction the American way. From collateral murder to the brutality on the streets, American culture has inspired the infamous potato farmers from the south coast of New South Wales to stand up and raise hell.
Tracks featured are:
‘Bushmaster/Crazy Horse’ – In 2010 WikiLeaks released a classified US military video depicting the indiscriminate slaying of over a dozen people in Iraq being shot from an Apache helicopter gunship – the 2 helicopters involved Bushmaster and Crazy Horse.
‘8 Seconds Of Summer’ – A tribute to the band 5 Seconds of Summer aka 5 SOS.
‘Blinky Palermo’ – Shortly before his death in 1977, German painter Blinky Palermo created his most significant cycle of paintings, dedicating it “to the people of NYC”.
‘Policeman’ – Since “retiring” from the force under dubious circumstances this former officer has struggled with the loss of authority. Now bored, frustrated, with nothing to do but drink and get abusive towards fellow neighbours who no longer have to obey this clown.
You can check the band out via the videos here at RAMzine. Featuring explicit lyrics, Bushmaster: Side A’ is available here.
