In true radical punk spirit, Bristol based band, The New America, release their new single, Going To The Races (Dressed Like A Racist), a relentless two and a half-minute piece which musically takes no prisoners, and lyrically emerges all astute and alert.
The band describe the new song as "a pat on the back for those who manage to remain shocked by the unapologetically normalised violence in the way we treat animals and each other."
Oscillating between the refined, yet, cutting through post punk of the early Gang of Four, the more immediate bratty punk of Stiff Little Fingers, and the present-times angst found in contemporary bands like The Murder Capital, Going To The Races marks that breaking point where a turns from a noticeable new act to something full of palpable promise.
