Screaming from the lockdown, even pandemic protecting masks can’t muffle the anger spilling from eclectic Kent punks Riskee And The Ridicule and their new single ‘Blue Jacket’. Referring to the constraints that leaving the EU poses, ‘Blue Jacket’ pokes fun at the ‘Brexit means Brexit’ ethos. It’s humorous, lyrically dark, yet musically happy, an offset that makes for a stark contrast between the anger in the words and the optimism in the music. “We hate Brexit,” states frontman Scott Picking. “Musically It’s most likely going to cripple UK DIY touring bands on the mainland. Not only that, but with the way the world is so affected right now by COVID-19, we need unity more than ever. Nobody had a clue what they were voting for and people are still none the wiser and all divided.”
