about

Inspired by 'The Bowmen' — a short story by Arthur Machen (1863-1947).

This song is a spell; just as the Bowmen delivered the English troops from certain doom, so may we all find a way out of the troubles that beset us today.

It’s no longer an open war of country versus country, the enemy now is not some misremembered European power — they live among us.

They are the people who claim loudest of being the most fervently patriotic of us all — but while they fail to recognise the values of diversity, and place their unaccountable hatred of gender, sexuality, intellect and race over compassion and inclusivity, they are shameful, shabby humanity, representing neither anything nor anywhere to be proud of.

They blame their own failures on foreigners and prefer minding borders to broadening minds.

They warp history into hate and twist folklore into fascism.

May the time come soon when their like is gone forever.

— Folklore Not Fascism —

A brilliant, inventive duo with hard-hitting, epic odd-pop/rock. It's like the familiar and the weird having a midnight gathering and finding it's all GREAT. Dip in anywhere, they don't disappoint. Sunex Amures
