Urban Guerillas

Nukalyptus Surreptitious Urban Guerillas

These Sydney citizens headed by Ken Stewart have their political hearts stencilled deeply on their sleeves and in the style of Midnight Oil also treat the personal as political. Most of the material is general in nature rather than concentrating on specific issues. This is a call to arms, but the weapons requested tend to be in line with non-violent resistance principles, most evident in what is probably the strongest song on the CD Love Creature. You’ll never know what you’re missing out on. Don’t give up on loving people. But this is contrasted with a fatal plan might seem infectious until the body bags have to be sent. This is angry music with a heart. In the best tradition of protest music it’s insensitivity as well as unfairness that is railed against. Independent. 2005.
