REVIEW: BURN THE EMPIRE BY THE SNUTS

The Snuts are back with hardcore beats and hardcore beliefs as they release their latest single, ‘Burn The Empire’.

The West-Lothian quartet never fail to amaze their loyal support with how often they can change their whole sound. ‘Burn The Empire’ is the first bit of material The Snuts have produced since claiming their #1 spot with their debut album W.L. However, this song provides a totally different vibe from the album which is very impressive and a gift not many artists have these days.

A noticeable aspect of ‘Burn The Empire’ is that it samples a speech made by Politician, Tony Benn at the start of the track. The whole tune gives off a fierce, punk sound which again shows the power and ruthlessness this band hold.

Frontman, Jach Cochrane said: “I wanted the word ‘empire’ to feel open, almost rhetorical to what constitutes or qualifies as an oppressive factor in your life, because it certainly exists for 99% of people.

He also added: “I think young people have always wanted a fairer and more equal society and it’s the voices of the old, the discontent and the ignorant that try and squash that. We believe in 2022 there is no place for fascism or oppression of any kind and we must burn the empire that represents it.”
