The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.

We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

It was written as a response to music critics hating on the band for being twee and "sensitive" due to their music being usually light indie pop. So they added some grit and distortion to this song to show that they can be more intense if they wanted to.

Nice, love basically all of the stuff from Sarah Records. Cherry Red was another great C86ish label that had a ton of great stuff too!

Do you know The Sugargliders, one of only a few Australian bands who had a release on Sarah? I'll post some.

There was the band Even As We Speak as well from Australia.
