In the interests of balance I'll expect 'We're all karens now' or 'humans aren't clownfish' or 'everyone I don't like is literally Hitler' on desert island discs this week.

Oh my word! This is so lovely! Proving that kids are perfectly capable of a tight punk interpretation.

@ArabeIIaScott they are amazing live, energy off the charts. It's just a wall of noise!

It looks lovely, but to be perfectly honest these days I prefer listening while sitting on my arse with a cup of tea so I can be in control of the volume levels.

My punk days are long gone!

Wow the Nova Twins are bloody awesome. Takes me back to seeing Siouxie and others of that ilk.

They are goddesses of rage, power and punk. Also @MelodiousThunk you have the best username I've seen on here and I feel bitter that I'm not smart enough to have thought of it lol

Well I think you're all being rotten. Luckily, Dream Nails could give a crap what y'all think !
They are feisty and fearless

So looking forward to their new choon about Islam.

steady on

it's a bit safer to brag about how you can punch middle aged women so they'll probably stick to that I'd have thought

I doubt their thoughts about any notoriously touchy religions will be being broadcast any time soon

I think artists should be able to make art about what they like. If Lammo thinks this is a good tune he should be able to play it.

But <sigh> BBC. You are playing directly into the hands of James Murdoch and co. When even I am thinking 'maybe we should scrap the licence fee', you know you've gone a bit far

Harry Nillson had one of his early songs recorded by the Monkees. He was working in a bank and the record company guy rang him up and said ' you can quit the job now'.

If that happened today poor old Harry would be looking at another 40 years in the bank! He'd probably end up owing the record company money...

@WarriorN you basically get a cheque (or two if you are both songwriter and performer so one from PRS and one from PPL) once a quarter for a completely random amount. In theory it's around £20 per minute of airplay so a 3 minute single played once will have resulted in £60 divided up between the record company, the songwriter(s), the performer(s) - and of course the PPL and PRS taking their generous scrap off the top. In reality, it's "oooh, I got a cheque for £12.32 I can pack in the day job now!"

Ah ok.

Was this a way by the bbc 6 music lot to indirectly support mermaids? Or directly actually? 🧐

That's not how radio royalties work. The BBC pays the PRS and PPL for a blanket radio licence and the PRS and PPL distribute to record companies, performers and songwriters via an arcane formula that frankly no-one understands.

This is the tune played

If I want good punk I'll listen to Nova Twins

Seeing them supporting Muse later this year! Can't wait!

It's all very surface. Very glib. Fluffy bleurgh.

Even punk needs a bit of nuance and layers. A bit of bite.

I will refrain from my rant of why so much contemporary culture is very very weak, even notwithstanding Sturgeon's law.

MelodiousThunk · 15/09/2023 12:44

Bit disappointed that Steve Lamacq played this. I'm not sure about whether we should be banning songs that incite violence - where would that leave the classic 'Die Yuppie Die!' by Painters and Dockers, or even Panic ("Kill the DJ...")

London-based four-piece Dream Nails are casting soulful punk hexes on the patriarchy. Don't like it? Frankly, they don't care...

There’s nothing subtle about self-proclaimed, London-based ‘punk witches’ Dream Nails. They come armed with a fierce feminist manifesto, soulful punk jams and a completely unapologetic ‘no fucks given’ attitude. They're coming to challenge your privilege and they don’t want your approval – in fact, they want you to change. Unified through feminist activism, since 2015, their ‘witch punk’ has been harnessing “the tenacious and divine power of a global sisterhood of women and non-binary people who are taking matters into their own hands.”

Bwhahaha.

Is there a 'tasche there? I really should be more observant in these, um, fluid times.

Show quote history

I made the mistake of checking out google images.

Someone should really tell them that Le Tigre did the whole 'enby girl with a tache thing' in 2011. And they weren't that good either.

I really want 1992 era Donita Sparks to return and tell these idiots some home truths
