Punk Poet Patrick T. Davies Releases Double EP “The Agenda Bender / Terrible Twenties”

Patrick T. Davies is a punk poet from Manchester, UK, his visceral spoken word pulling no punches in the distinctive local twang. Combining Davies’s two EPs to date, The Agenda Bender / Terrible Twenties, plus one stand-alone single that features the talents of breakcore artist Gore Tech, this hour-long cassette tackles sizzling polemics and breadline brutality over dubby drum tracks, post-punk guitars and blunt beats that all keep Davies’s furious flow ticking over, his skills as a producer improving track by track as he learns on the job.

Patrick T. Davies is a self-deprecating and dextrous lyricist who, by his own admission, has never been in a band though, Davies nevertheless strikes a humble figure, his down-to-earth qualities and simultaneous outsider allure the secret to his charm, his chameleonic powers of observation letting him harvest inspiration from all those he encounters. Quite what Davies has made of the lockdown Britain we can only suppose as this material was all recorded pre-pandemic in the aftermath of Brexit; our bet though is that his notepads are full of stinging scribbling just waiting to be heard.

The Agenda Bender / Terrible Twenties is now available via Ramber Records
