Bob Vylan Presents the Price of Life

Released

Sleaford Mods, Rage Against The Machine, The Prodigy, The Clash—those bands help draw a circle around Bob Vylan, whose two members are alleged both named Bob Vylan, which I love. Bob Vylan admire Public Enemy so much they simply stole the PE design for their t-shirts, which I appreciate. Bob V have a song about the radio being bullshit, a gesture I am surprised by but approve of. Black British rage writ large and obvious, with no room for error. I love that singer Bob wears a Crass t-shirt in at least one video and makes it seem, for once, like an affinity rather than an affectation.  Burn it down, gang.
