A song about being trapped in a soul-destroying, dead end job, and reaching the point where you either break down or break free.

Ballad Of Bob McArthur

A cathartic singalong to remember some of my friends who were taken too soon. delivered in the raucous and rowdy fashion that they would've loved.

Far Too Many Good Souls

 A sarcastic look at the kind of paranoia we see around conspiracy theories. Mostly inspired by the pandemic, but it's still having a dig about the irritation nature of such beliefs as a whole.

Antisocial Love Song (Original Demo)

Brother Bastion is a folk-punk singer-songwriter from Blackburn UK. Influenced by artists such as Woody Guthrie, The Pogues, Violent Femmes, Dead Kennedys and Motorhead, he sings songs based on observations from growing up and living in working class post-industrial Britain, as well as wider observations of society as a whole. 
  His stripped back, no-nonsense setup of acoustic guitar, bass-drum, harmonica and occasional looping provides a surprisingly full and primal backing to his searing vocal.
  As a live artist, he brings a presence and power that many 4 and 5 piece bands struggle to achieve. A seasoned performer on the festival circuit, Brother Bastion is guaranteed to raise eyebrows both live and on record.
