Snapped Ankles - Hard Times, Furious Dancing (The Leaf Label)

*** This blog post first appeared in TSMM's April 6th Newsletter, where you can get all the tips (and more) first ***

Snapped Ankles have been rocking my world for the last eight years with a string of potent, forward looking, post post-punk fusion albums that are trying to rouse the younger generations who know they’re screwed but receive so many app notifications they can’t work out what to do about it.

Their new LP keeps a similar trajectory of wrecking crew bass lines, urgent post punk and soaring space rock, DIY log synth noise meets reconstructed club deviance and motorik madness, all with a post-truth apocalypse meets the Anthropocene in an authoritarian police state where protest is criminalised urgency. They’re political (hallelujah), risky, Tesla egging and surveillance capitalism crushing - all those good things. They’re a wake up call. The revolution won’t be televised as the media is owned by billionaires, but Snapped Ankles might just be the soundtrack.
