Watch the Channel is a group of activists dedicated to supporting people who are forced to cross the Channel by irregular means. We believe that the right to move around the world is a fundamental tenet of human freedom. We are committed to doing what we can to support people in exercising that right. We monitor the behaviour and misbehaviour of the French and UK border control regime. We work to ensure that the coastguards fulfil their duties under international maritime law to rescue people in distress.
lyrics
good morning madness
i woke up on the wrong side of history again
i see you sat there in the corner
hiding from all the hordes at the border
a pack of dogs a flock of birds a horde of people
it's coming home it's coming home it's coming home
see i did one of those dna tests online
and it turns out it's not your home it's mine
and i hear your dogwhistle
it's a flatulent squeak
and i wake up to the sound of another door slamming shut
head in the sand,
dick in hand,
all the throbbing hours sagged in a heap
when i was your age
i had streets in my name
how pretty is your past
frantically fumble your way along that filthy rope and find it tied to your ankle
lifting and dragging at the exact same time in this ever twisting space
and i'll take my place
in a long
history
of bad
men
and i'll empty this country
line you up on the beach
i'll get the measure of your pity
out there in the deep
The mix of shoegaze, punk, and noise from this Seattle band is notable for its urgency and bright, foregrounded vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 9, 2023
A mind-blowing batch of jazz-informed hardcore exploding with drill-press riffing and throat-destroying howls. Really great! Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 6, 2022
