D B Tby Holy Popes

Bristol post-garage punk trio Holy Popes have shared their debut single “DBT”. Commenting on the track, guitarist Dominic Knight says: “Our entire system is based around debt. From using sea shells as markers of goods that are owed, to the paper money we hold in our hands being merely trust in an idea of wealth rather than having actual value. These ideas always affect the poorest in society and we see it so often with money lending, overdrafts and borrowing. “Promoting ideas of climbing the social ladder through objects and wealth means people can no longer wait for the next car or phone, they have to borrow to obtain it today. This capitalist trick has us blame each other for our ills, and distracts us from the billions that are accrued by the very few, leaving behind them a trail of poor bodies, environmental destruction and social instability. Debt is slavery. Capitalism is organised crime.” dustyorgan.com Get a glimpse of the trio in action with the video for DBT www.youtube.com
