A new seven inch single from Your Heterosexual Violence

 

Here are two new tracks from Your Heterosexual Violence. Both tracks were recorded at Press Play studios in South London, with Andy Ramsay (Stereolab) recording and producing. It is available as a very limited seven inch single on Teabar Records. Lathe cut and on black or clear vinyl. It sounds great!

'The Plan' is described by the band as "the most bonkers punk rock that you will ever hear (from us)".

Black Triangle is established to galvanise opposition to the current vicious attack on the fundamental human rights of disabled people by government using Work Capability Assessments to re-classify sick and disabled individuals as fit for work.

Curtains Closed: A Eulogy for Finbarr Donnelly

Brian: "We have recorded this song about our dear old friend, the never to be forgotten Finbarr Donnelly of Nun Attax/Five Go Down to the Sea/Beethoven fame. 

Most of the band knew Finbarr Donnelly from when he and his band Five Go Down To The Sea? were living in Rotherhithe and then Shepherd's Bush, right up to when they morphed into Beethoven and up until that terrible day when he left this world a poorer place. 

I became particularly good friends with Donnelly and since his untimely passing on June 18th 1989 rarely does a day go by without my thinking about him. He was a real one- off, with a unique way of engaging with people, a unique way of looking at the world and his bands sounded like no other"

A new track from Your Heterosexual Violence - Pauper's Funeral

Brian: "For anyone reading this who has experienced having to claim sickness benefits because they are far too ill to work, only to be told at one of these government/DWP Work Capability Assessments that they are in fact perfectly fit for work and so your benefits are stopping, this song should resonate.

Black Triangle do some excellent and very important work in agitating against the cruel and heartless DWP and their cuts and sanction culture but currently they are totally unfunded and have to fund their resistance costs from their own pockets.
