Watch The Video For Bristol Post-Garage Punks’ Anti-Capitalist Debut Single ‘DBT’ Released 5th October 2022 Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBOOBMPCn6I Stream and share: https://linktr.ee/mandemolishrecords Bristol-based post-garage/punk trio HOLY POPES are pleased to announce they have signed to Hull-based independent label Man Demolish Records (NEWMEDS). As a taster of things to come, their visceral anti-capitalist debut single ‘DBT’ is out now along with an unnerving, wild-eyed video that reflects their twitching, erratic take on post-garage punk. Commenting on the track, guitarist Dominic Knight (ex-The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster) says: “Our entire system is based around debt. From using sea shells as markers of goods that are owed, to the paper money we hold in our hands being merely trust in an idea of wealth rather than having actual value. These ideas always affect the poorest in society and we see it so often with money lending, overdrafts and borrowing.” “Promoting ideas of climbing the social ladder through objects and wealth means people can no longer wait for the next car or phone, they have to borrow to obtain it today. This capitalist trick has us blame each other for our ills, and distracts us from the billions that are accrued by the very few, leaving behind them a trail of poor bodies, environmental destruction and social instability. Debt is slavery. Capitalism is organised crime.” Formed by Knight and drummer Luke Bujniewicz in 2
