Kneecap Won’t Face Criminal Charges Over Glastonbury Set; Police are still investigating Bob Vylan’s Glastonbury performance, and Kneecap MC Mo Chara still faces a terror charge over a separate incident at the O2 Forum last year

Kneecap are the perfect Glastonbury band – the political controversy is proof; The Irish trio’s appearance has, due to political interference, led to an unexpected referendum on the festival’s soul. But, writes Adam White, their anarchy feels historically in keeping with what Glastonbury represents

Skid Row – “Get the Fuck Out” (Audio)
‘Slave to the Grind’
Atlantic – Jun. 11, 1991
*Skid Row – “Get the Fuck Out” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbFKr_kXnzA // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_to_the_Grind // https://genius.com/Skid-row-get-the-fuck-out-lyrics // “Your jokes ain’t funny and there’s nothin’ you say/That I wanna hear/The sound of the door slammin’ your ass out/Is music to my ears/If I can’t beat you, then I’m gonna beat you to a pulp/So can the TV rays and take my tonsil glaze right down your throat”. ‘Slave to the Grind’ is the second studio album by American heavy metal band Skid Row, released on June 11, 1991, by Atlantic Records. The album displayed a heavier sound than its predecessor and lyrics that avoided hard rock cliches. Slave to the Grind is the first heavy metal album to chart at number one on the Billboard 200 in the Nielsen SoundScan era, selling 134,000 copies in its opening week. In 1992, Skid Row took Pantera and Soundgarden as supporting bands on its Slave to the Grind Tour. Two different versions of the album were released: the original and a “clean” version, in which “Get the Fuck Out” is replaced with the less-offensive “Beggar’s Day”.*

The Clash – “White Riot” (Audio)
‘White Riot b/w 1977’
CBS – Mar. 18, 1977
*The Clash – “White Riot” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wC4UsFsa3A // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Riot // https://libcom.org/article/1976-notting-hill-carnival-riots // “White Riot” is the debut single by the English punk rock band the Clash, released in March 1977 and also included on their self-titled debut album. Lyrically, the song is about class struggle and race and thus proved controversial; some people thought it was advocating a kind of race war. The song was written after Joe Strummer and bassist Paul Simonon were involved in the riots at the Notting Hill Carnival of 1976.*
