We find ourselves at a cross section in the zeitgeist where bricks could be used to build something, or to be destructive. I\u2019m calling on punks and those that want to make a difference, to do so. As well as being our most poignant political track to date, it also features my favourite riff\/breakdown we\u2019ve ever written, with a mosh call that, I hope, makes the listener think about their role in the world, and to speak up, take action on the many injustices the world faces today. I\u2019m looking forward to playing this one live the most of any track on the record.
