This EPx15 builds up from Indie LoFi, to Blues, and Burlesque Punk Rock. It quotes the newly rebranded "Department of War" Secretary's official announcement speech. The cover features "Operation Blitz", the shameless Naz! offensive nomenclature used by the government to designate their latest mass-deportations initiative #truestory.

DHS—i.e. the U.S. "Department of Homeland Security"—has launched a military operation called “Operation Midway Blitz” targeting undocumented immigrants in Chicago, Illinois. The news coverage spans AP, Washington Post, Reuters, and The Guardian—all information sources as real as reliable.

Yet, when I shared a screenshot of the real DHS tweet announcing ‘Operation Midway Blitz’ to chatGPT, it called it fake news! WHY? Cuz the truth sounded too fasc!st to be real, sadly, obviously, that is why... because DHS shamelessly chose to name their latest large-scale deportation crackdown after "The Blitz"—i.e. the Nazi Germany’s bombing campaign that terrorized civilians. Yup. Blitz. On U.S. soil. Targeting immigrants. The bot doubted it because it was too extreme to believe, which imho, literally proves just how extreme it actually is!

So here’s the question of the day: If it sounds too fascist to be true—but it’s true—
how far gone are we already?! 🇺🇸

@bananasutra (aka the Better Bananas Bureau of Peace) lyrics "It’s War, My Friend"

[Intro]
“Maximum lethality… 
not tepid legality…” (*)
They changed the name, 
but not the game… 

[Verse 1]
The shield became a sharpened blade,
The dove was shot, the deal betrayed.
They smiled and switched the words they use,
Then blamed the blood on evening news.

[Chorus]
It’s not defense — it’s war, my friend,
No truth to guard, no rules defend.
They paint the crime in red, white, blue,
And sell it back as brave and true. 

[Verse 2]
They built the tanks on stolen dreams,
Then fed us fear in silent streams.
The court was blind, the laws grew thin,
So violence marched its power in.

[Verse 3]
They stripped the schools to fund the fight,
Then prayed for peace beneath the blight.
They called it strength, I call it fraud,
A wolf that hides behind the law.

[Bridge – Dreamy, echoing tone]
When war gets dressed in Sunday best,
Who dares to ask, “Who cleans the mess?”
When war is peace and law is bent,
The truth is just a false pretense. 

[Repeat Chorus]
It’s not defense — it’s war, my friend,
No truth to guard, no rules defend.
They paint the crime in red, white, blue,
And sell it back as brave and true.

(*) WTH "Maximum Lethality, Not Tepid Legality" actually means??!
This is the stark, official statement made by Pete Hegseth, i.e. the newly rebranded American "Secretary of War"... By saying "Maximum lethality", he emphasizing his intention to deploy overwhelming force and power. And "Not tepid legality" is clealrly a d!ck-jab at what he sees as legal constraints that are weak or overly cautious-indicating more military actions, with fewer legal handcuffs. He also said "Violent effect, NOT politically correct" (for real), underlining the prioritization of forceful outcomes over worrying about optics, cultural sensitivities, or so-called "woke" norms. Long story short, the fasc!st Quack administration is making things clear (for once, ha): this isn't about defense or diplomacy. It's about offense, authoritarian purpose, and unapologetic strength. 

Blessed be the Peace fools 🕊️

"Iggy Pop-approved ...this is no retread – their songs are powering them into vicious new places." - NME

"They are every bit as ferocious and uncompromising live as you might guess from their records!” - Steve Lamacq, BBC 6Music

"Pushing the boundaries, breaking the mould!" - Jack Saunders, BBC Radio 1 

"They have the aura of a band that should be filling stadiums." - Fred Perry Subculture
 
"Turning industry heads." - Hot Press
 
Belfast-based Irish noise-punk mob quartet formed in late 2019. Venomous hip-hop-inspired vocals that are as uncompromising as the guitars are unforgiving, layered on a rhythm section that draws as much from left-field electronica and techno as it does from post-punk heroes of the late 70s. Enola Gay's unique sound has drawn widespread acclaim, culminating with them being chosen to perform at Ireland Music Week, Eurosonic, and SXSW for their 6th, 7th and 8th performances ever.

Enola wasted no time in establishing themselves as one of the next unique punk voices, having been listed in both NME and Rolling Stone's lists of acts to define 2022 along with headlining festival slots post-pandemic. They recorded their acclaimed debut EP Gransha with Chris W Ryan (Just Mustard, NewDad), before embarking on their Spring 22' UK Tour before supporting Therapy? on their arena tour.  It is no wonder they have been hotly tipped by Iggy Pop, Jehnny Beth, and all who see them.
