Midlands hard rockers Rawkus Redz set their stall out with their first EP, "Raw Power, Red Rage".
First released in July 2017, even the title itself is a statement by the band, a description of both their sound and their ethos; powerful, riff-laden anthems with lyrically potent socio-political messages and an all-round sense of anger and disdain for the current status-quo.
Anti-establishment, anti-pretension, anti-apology, this is what Rawkus Redz are all about.

Lyrics:

Put me out like a cigarette baby 
I said I loved you but maybe 
You never knew the meaning of the word

I'm always running after you still pleading
Healing but I feel the knives
Breathing but I drown alive
Always running while the wound's still bleeding
Head underwater as I drown alive
What did you say
What did you say
That made me a zombie
(Made me a zombie)
You'd better stay away
'Cause I'm becoming a zombie
(Becoming a zombie)

And I need you
And I want you
Every single day
You made me hazy
Your ideé fixe for misery
Every single day
I'm going crazy

I'm always running after you still pleading
Healing but I feel the knives
Breathing but I drown alive
Always running while the wound's still bleeding
Head underwater as I drown alive
What did you say
What did you say
That made me a zombie
(Made me a zombie)
You'd better stay away
'Cause I'm becoming a zombie
(Becoming a zombie)

Put me out like a cigarette baby 
I said I loved you but maybe 
I never knew what you could do if I was looking the wrong way
(Looking the wrong way)

I'm always running after you still pleading
Healing but I feel the knives
Breathing but I drown alive
Always running while the wound's still bleeding
Head underwater as I drown
What did you say
What did you say
That made me a zombie
(Made me a zombie)
You'd better stay away
'Cause I'm becoming a zombie
(Becoming a zombie)

Put me out like a cigarette baby 
I said I loved you but maybe 
I never knew what you w
could do if I was looking the wrong way
(Looking the wrong way)

Drown alive
Drown alive
Head underwater as I
Drown alive
Drown alive

Drown alive
Drown alive
Drown alive
