The fact is that those on the far right are racist and very ignorant of anything British. For them it is merely soundbites and catchphrases. Go any deeper and they are exposed. Given they have been exposed all of their lives because they are from the bottom of the social class pile, it is part of their identity. Thus, they cannot deal with substance. They cannot deal with the complexities of knowledge and information. They are the permanent victims of a country that has used them as fodder. And yet they celebrate the country for destroying them.
When someone clever comes along and reveals this, they get angry. They throw insults and threats. One sees it on social media all of the time. Insults and laughing emojis is all they have. What they rarely do is change and grow. They die exposed and they die ignorant.
It didn’t have to be this way!
Over to Bob Vylan.

How is saying 'death to the IDF' which is a military child-killing machine even considered the slightest bit controversial?

The BBC praised Bob Vylan’s “Death to the IDF” chant as a “fantastic” performance they “loved.” Your money funds this. Defund the BBC. pic.twitter.com/mSueCEKlpG

Bob Vylan: The Sound of Britain’s Boiling Point
Walk into any Bob Vylan gig and you’ll feel it before you hear it — that pulse of energy, that crackle in the air. Sweat drips, mosh pits churn, and a thousand voices scream in unison: “We live here!” This is not just a show. It’s a reckoning.
For the uninitiated, Bob Vylan (that’s vocalist Bobby Vylan and drummer Bobbie Vylan) are the punk-grime duo shaking Britain’s music scene to its core. Their blend of snarling punk riffs, grime beats and politically charged lyrics has made them one of the most important voices in British music today.
Punk, Grime and Pure Fury
Bob Vylan’s music doesn’t tiptoe around the issues. It kicks the door off its hinges. Tracks like We Live Here and GDP come swinging straight at racism, inequality and government hypocrisy. There’s no cryptic poetry or clever metaphors — just unfiltered truth spat with precision and rage.
“People like to say we’re angry,” Bobby told an audience once, “but anger’s just the honest reaction to the world we live in.”
That honesty has become their trademark. The lo-fi production, the heavy drums, the raw vocal delivery — everything feels urgent and alive. It’s the sound of Britain as it actually is: bruised, diverse, and defiant.
Independent and Unapologetic
True to punk tradition, Bob Vylan do things their own way. No major labels, no corporate gloss. Every record, every T-shirt, every gig ticket comes out through their own label, Ghost Theatre. That independence isn’t just aesthetic — it’s political. It’s about control, ownership, and refusing to compromise the message.
Their 2022 album Bob Vylan Presents the Price of Life didn’t just make noise — it made history. Crashing into the UK Top 20 and bagging the MOBO Award for Best Alternative Music Act, it proved that punk still matters and that protest music can hit the charts without losing its teeth.
The Mosh Pit as Therapy
As furious as their music sounds, Bob Vylan’s shows are surprisingly joyful. There’s rage, yes, but it’s collective — turned into something liberating. In a time when Britain feels divided and disillusioned, their gigs become spaces of unity. Everyone’s welcome, and everyone’s got something to shout about.
Between the chaos, Bobby often pauses to check in with the crowd. He talks about self-worth, survival, and the pressure of living in a world built to grind you down. Beneath all the noise, Bob Vylan’s message is one of empowerment — don’t just survive the system, beat it at its own game.
Britain’s Most Necessary Band
Bob Vylan isn’t here to entertain the status quo. They’re here to dismantle it, one explosive track at a time. They speak for the voiceless, call out hypocrisy, and do it all with style and humour.
In a sea of safe, streaming-friendly music, they stand out as gloriously uncompromising — proof that punk isn’t dead, it’s just evolved.
And if Britain is a pressure cooker, Bob Vylan are the sound of the lid blowing off.
