Manchester thrash-punks Revenge of the Psychotronic Man today reveal the video for their politically-charged new track Dismantling The Corby(n) Trouser Press. The track comes following a week that’s seen the UK exit Europe not just once in the EU referendum, but also crashing and burning in the Euro 2016 football tournament. Now more than ever, it feels like we need punk music. We need people coming together and making their voices heard. We need bands like Revenge of The Psychotronic Man. Take a listen below!
The track is the latest to be taken from their third full-length album, the Alan Partridge homaging Colossal Velocity, which will be released via TNSrecords on 15th July 2016. The video is directed by Tim Bevington and Scott Thompson and edited by Dan Meadows and Andi Taylor. The band commented on the song and said: ‘The lyrics are about a conversation Andy had with a Conservative voting student at the college he works at.
‘This student was angry about how much he had to pay in tuition fees, despite voting for that policy by supporting the Tories.
‘As a band we have always supported the idea that people should use their vote responsibly and should research what they are actually supporting by voting in a certain way, whilst if someone decides not to vote they should make their protest known through actions such as spoiling their slip.’
