When two people meet more or less
by chance on social networks and when both of them are even more than talented
artists ... then this EP comes out:
"Treason
of the Monarchy"
It's the brainchild of John Warwick, a fantastic
singer/songwriter and Tim "Fishy"
Fish, brilliant lyricist, songwriter and a punk out of conviction.
The result is something that nobody
has expected and that in my opinion will hit like a bomb! Both are united by
their love for punk music from earlier years, something that is seldom found
today and so the guys decided ... back to punk, classical but also modern.
Palace needs a new lick of paint;
I’ll take your income tax.
Your all my fucking subjects, I'll
hold you on the racks.
Our blood blue, we're better than
you, you know that
Now chant my name, I rule this land
forever, amen my lord
(Treason of the Monarchy)
The EP has everything you need if
you love punk rock ... and you can be sure that you will love it after you've
heard it. Political issues as in "
Treason of the Monarchy", the anthem of the band, Views on life with
and without drugs as in " It Wasn't You', a wake up call
to stand up for freedom which the song
"Die Toten der Werwölfe" is about, "In the Coals", about politics or "Head in the Shed" or
"They Say", a song about the need to be perfect for everyone , every song is up-to-date
and a partly relentless reckoning with society, politics and everything that
goes wrong in today's world.
But even if it's a socially
critical EP, the wink of the eye is not neglected either, listen to "The Apprentice Has A Hard On" and
you will know what I mean.

With the unique skills of both
protagonists, the cheeky, fresh writing style from Tim Fish and the great music from John Warwick, these guys achieved something very special.
Entertaining and demanding, the
topics of the time in a nutshell and all that paired with an unmistakable sound
of punk. Beating drums, catchy lyrics, and a guitar work that is second to none
round off this ep and make it one of the best I've ever heard.
In order to ensure that the very
young fans can also hear the music, they decided to make two radio edits: "Treason of the Monarchy" and "On the Coals".
Especially for a really big fan
called #spitfirepete !
