British punk-rock band, Vile Assembly, have released their politically fueled new track, “Division of Labour.” Fusing the classic ’70s punk vibe of The Clash and the Sex Pistols with more considered Bowie-esque lyrics, described as “the thinking man’s Sleaford Mods”, “Division of Labour” spotlights the harshness of the system, blatantly exposing the greed of corporate companies.
“The song shines a light on the fact that corporations are in control of the country for their own gain, and the population of the country is there merely to fill the working roles needed to fulfill high value contracts for poverty-inducing pay,” explains Paul Mason, the band’s lyricist/vocalist. “However, there is hope that if the countries’ people unite against this corporate crime, we can regain control of the system and make it fair and equal, leaving no one behind. Listen, absorb and make a change!”
“Division of Labour” will be released this Friday, January 26th, on Vial Records. For more information on Vile Assembly, please visit: http://www.thevileassembly.co.uk/
Vile Assembly is Mark Wainwright (guitar, bass, keyboards), Mark Webb (guitar, keyboards, drums) and Paul Mason (lyrics, vocals)–a tight-knit trio of songwriters, musicians and producers. Many big names passed through their studio, Alien Sound Recordings in Liverpool, including INXS, Meters drumming legend Zigaboo Modeliste, The Virgin Marys, Kids On Bridges and Shea Seager to name a few, but the three never contemplated making music of their own until they decided enough was enough and that someone (them) needed to stand up and shout in the defense of those without a voice.
The band was created solely to be the whistle blowers on unjust society; their purpose to say what needs to be said through the universally understood medium of music. The trio sparked anarchy and debate and garnered global media acclaim as far reaching as Japan with the release of their debut single “Suicide Feast” earlier this year. After chart success in Germany, France, UK and South America with their second release, “Gone”, the band is back with “Division of Labour”, the follow-up single available this Friday, January 26th, on Vial Records.
