He eats and shits
And shits and eats
And eats and shits some more
You know the shit
You’ll hear you think
When he begins to talk
Of foodstuffs
And fisticuffs
An England that’s broke
A tirade between mouthfuls
Can of lager
Jack and Coke
Respect our flag
Fuck off you slag
A fat stain on a paper bag
A drag of vape
There’s no escape
You know there’ll be no peace
While he feeds on the grease
Of the recently deceased
It’s all the fault you see
Excepting present company
You know the rest
It’s a test
Of your identity
Men of fighting age
In women’s clothes
It’s all the rage
That’s why he loathes
Any threat he sees
To flags and families
Already battered in the breeze
Of top-down austerity
He eats and shits
And shits and eats
And eats and shits on yours
You wonder how much shit you’ll eat
To find a common cause

Beautiful Days, Reviewed by Musomuso
Steve White & The Protest Family at the Rebel Tent, bracing, rough-and-ready punk tackling the cost of living from a gang of lads who look like they understand the parlous state of modern Britain all too well. “Evidence-based punk rock” they call it, what’s not to like?

The Breakfast Show
Ferrari hosts the breakfast show
On Reform UK radio
Has Jenrick perma-booked
Now that Nigel’s cooked
Says poor people just make poor choices
Amplifies far-right voices
Talks down to experts
Talks up the blackshirts
Exaggerates the threat from refugees
Would have them banged up under lock and key
And champions the NIMBY folk of Piddington
This is how it works, of course
The background sound of daily discourse
Normalising fascist thought
With minted tax-dodger support
Nosed firmly in the trough
Perhaps I should just turn it off

Love Orient Hate Racism Scarves
Love Orient Hate Racism. It’s been an important statement to make over the years.
We formed the band in 2009 and two years later played the first Love Orient Hate Racism gig to a packed upstairs room at the Birkbeck Tavern with Corporal Machine & The Bombers and Graham Larkbey. Two years on from that, we took the show – again supported by the indefatigable Larkbey – to the Supporters Club.
We need to do it again.
In the meantime the visibility of Love Orient Hate Racism has grown and grown. Stickers, t-shirts, hoodies; it’s been a pleasure to see people wearing LOHR gear home and away. I started wearing a LOHR t-shirt to every home game a few seasons ago and commissioned the hoodie to make it easier to keep the message visible when the weather gets colder.
Same with the scarf, really. I designed it because I want one. Hopefully, you do too. You can get yours here.

Peter The Homeless Santa – Live At Steve’s House
Oh Tommy. F**k Off! – Live at Steve’s House
In Eleanor’s vineyard, Tommy’s on his knees, pretending to pray
He holds his bible upside down and wonders what Charlie would say
His god washed Islamophobic endeavour gains new followers every day
But he’s a coked up criminal grifter who’s going away
And they sing ‘Oh, Tommy, Tommy’ and we sing ‘Fuck off’
They sing ‘Oh, Tommy, Tommy’ and we sing ‘Fuck off’
They sing ‘Oh, Tommy, Tommy’ and we sing ‘Fuck off’
Sometimes you just got to get it off your chest
They sing ‘Oh, Tommy, Tommy’ and we sing ‘Fuck off’
They sing ‘Oh, Tommy, Tommy’ and we sing ‘Fuck off’
They sing ‘Oh, Tommy, Tommy’ and we sing ‘Fuck off’
Sometimes you just got to get it off your chest
You can’t write everybody off, some folk are just taken in
The difference between influenced and influencers is written on the tin
But when the fascists are at the door be sure to not let them in
And he’s a coked up criminal grifter who should be in the bin
And they sing ‘Oh, Tommy, Tommy’ and we sing ‘Fuck off’
They sing ‘Oh, Tommy, Tommy’ and we sing ‘Fuck off’
They sing ‘Oh, Tommy, Tommy’ and we sing ‘Fuck off’
Sometimes you just got to get it off your chest
They sing ‘Oh, Tommy, Tommy’ and we sing ‘Fuck off’
They sing ‘Oh, Tommy, Tommy’ and we sing ‘Fuck off’
They sing ‘Oh, Tommy, Tommy’ and we sing ‘Fuck off’
Sometimes you just got to get it off your chest
Now Jesus of Nazareth was many things
But nationalism won’t win you your angel wings
Your patriotic cross is just so much toss
So you can Oh Tommy Tommy off
When they sing ‘Oh, Tommy, Tommy’ and we sing ‘Fuck off’
They sing ‘Oh, Tommy, Tommy’ and we sing ‘Fuck off’
They sing ‘Oh, Tommy, Tommy’ and we sing ‘Fuck off’
Sometimes you just got to get it off your chest
They sing ‘Oh, Tommy, Tommy’ and we sing ‘Fuck off’
They sing ‘Oh, Tommy, Tommy’ and we sing ‘Fuck off’
They sing ‘Oh, Tommy, Tommy’ and we sing ‘Fuck off’
Sometimes you just got to get it off your chest
Evidence-Based Punk Rock Is Attila The Stockbroker’s Album Of The Year
You can read it in the paper, here.
“This is music made by people who believe art can matter, that songs can change minds, that punk was always about more than three chords and a mohawk.” Evidence-Based Punk Rock Reviewed by Indie Dock Music Blog
There’s a particular breed of British protest music that refuses to die quietly, despite every attempt by algorithms and streaming platforms to suffocate it with playlists and bite-sized consumption. Steve White & The Protest Family’s Evidence-Based Punk Rock belongs to this stubborn lineage, standing defiantly at the crossroads where Billy Bragg’s righteous fury meets the Manic Street Preachers’ conceptual ambition.
What ultimately elevates Evidence-Based Punk Rock above mere agitprop is its refusal to wallow in despair. The press release’s declaration that “things might be grim, but better world is possible” isn’t just marketing copy—it’s the album’s beating heart. In an era where cynicism masquerades as sophistication, there’s something genuinely punk about maintaining hope while clear-eyed about the obstacles.
