Every part about this band and this track is massively inspirational. Regardless of being an existential pop track, partly impressed by the novel A Completely happy Demise by Albert Camus. Made by a bunch of ‘dour OAP punks’ who fashioned the band in 1982, giving themselves a really 2020’s identify, they’re the antidote to shallow middle-class careerist pop – I provide you with, your new favorite ‘legendary band who few have really heard of’, Your Heterosexual Violence.
When what used to excite you doesn’t / Such as you’ve used up all of your allowance of experiences... however, in case you are fortunate, a hidden gem that you just by no means knew existed, will seem and you’ll regain that pleasure, that pleasure, that spark.
Artwork and music shouldn’t be concerning the unattainable, the fantasy-life, the ideas of the privileged…
I got here throughout this video by likelihood and it took the primary 15 seconds to persuade me it was completely good. In a world of excessive definition, gloss, AI-enhanced perfection, that is what is required!
A psychedelic punk machine with occasional sojourns into melodic pop. Influenced by everybody, copying nobody. Your Heterosexual Violence is illiberal of intolerance and as such shouldn’t be for these of a racist or sexist or homophobic bent.
Clocking in at below 3 minutes, ‘Home Outdoors the World’ is a radio-friendly slice of twenty first century psych/punk philosophy that you could sing alongside and dance to…or possibly simply have a pay attention with a cup of tea and ponder the character of existence.
I observed Jemma Freeman within the video and contacted them instantly. They informed me they liked working with the band after they had been tempted out of a decades-long hibernation. Right here’s their story briefly:
Fashioned in Woolwich, South East London in 1982, Your Heterosexual Violence (or just The Violence) constructed a cult following on the again of ferocious stay exhibits and assist slots with punk and indie legends together with Poison Women, The June Brides, Different TV, The Three Johns, Tv Personalities, The Nightingales, and appeared on the Talk!!! Reside at Thames Poly compilation in 1986.
After imploding in 1988, the band lay dormant till reforming simply earlier than the pandemic. Now, with a revitalised line-up that includes Simon Birch on Hammond and the addition of glam-punk powerhouse Jemma Freeman on bass and vocals, the band have discovered recent momentum and are able to launch their most formidable and anticipated report up to now…
The album Some Folks Have Too A lot to Say, is ready for launch on 26 September 2025. Launched in collaboration with Trapped Animal Information (The Child Seals, Grrrl Gang, Jemma Freeman & The Cosmic One thing) by way of their thrilling new sublabel, Ferocious Doge Information, the album shall be obtainable on all codecs, together with conventional black and a restricted turquoise vinyl version.

David Dodd – Guitars (he/him)
Andi Panayi – Drums & Percussion (he/him)
Simon Birch – Hammond Organ/Fender Rhodes (he/him)
Jemma Freeman – Bass & Vocals (they/them)
The band identify is so completely modern sounding it’s astonishing to suppose that they coined it within the early Eighties. I requested Brian about it:
Yeah, we had been simply looking out round for a reputation for the band and felt like all the very best names had already gone after which instantly Dave our guitarist simply instantly comes up with ‘I do know, Your Heterosexual Violence’ and err this was again in 1982 and it form of shocked me for a second, and I assumed yeah there’s an incredible identify, that’s a very in your face identify, individuals received’t overlook that and err it’s simply appeared to tackle increasingly more resonance as time has passed by, you already know? The place individuals used to say to us again within the Eighties ‘woooah what are you referred to as that for?’ Now individuals simply say ‘wow nice identify’ and certainly it’s I believe.
If the album is a fraction nearly as good as this primary single, it’s gonna be a cracker. Effectively well worth the forty-three 12 months wait.
Why the delay Brian?
“Effectively, it’s a protracted story…”
Which I’ll save for an additional day. Within the meantime, hearken to this once more.
