MM Shorts 762: The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing

The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing have long been renowned for their mix of anarchy and anachrony and marinating it in gin-soaked steampunk, with emphasis on the punk. Think a socially conscious punk band channelling the sound of a robot Sid Vicious, hopped up on Crass, covering Slayer in an 1877 East End Music Hall… Their third album Not Your Typical Victorians almost didn’t … Continue reading MM Shorts 762: The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing
