With song
titles like “14 Million Cunts”, “Sectarian Centurian” and “Not
Ma Queen”, Freedom
Fist’s incendiary
self-titled debut release is somewhat of a call to arms to the Scottish population,
to put aside your fears, take a leap of faith and cut the umbilical cord of Westminster,
The Crown and become a sovereign nation and truly independent.
Whilst it could
be said, this release is 7 years late, (The Scottish independence referendum was
in 2014), given the fractious state of the world, there has perhaps never been a
better time to push for independence once more (just look at the damage Brexit
has caused).
Set against a backdrop of D-beats, blasts, wretched and tormented vocals, scummy guitars and blown out bass, I sense that Freedom Fist seek to educate the listener, dealing with themes of a heroin epidemic, a culture of violence, and sectarian servitude of the Glasgow football, with the underling message being, these issues won’t resolve themselves unless a nation pulls together and addresses the societal imbalance.
Harnessing the
rage, anger and frustration of a nation, Freedom Fist have created something preposterously filthy
indeed and today you can check it out in full below. “Freedom Fist” is issued tomorrow
