Name: Fool Britannia by The Undercover Hippy
Duration: 4 min 11 s
Description: This a song about Brexit and the politics of division. It's about Britain's nostalgia for the days of empire, and how that fantasy has delivered us into the hands of populist opportunists and right-wing zealots. It's also about fat reggae bass and dirty clav lines!

Great track - love the message as well as the sonics

Snap Back

This is a song I wrote a long tim ago now... I was tired of working all week and then wasting my money in the pub every weekend... and I dreamed of travelling the world... now I seem to have come full circle! Maybe it's time for a holiday...

Work till you die

A song about being 16 and getting way too stoned and ending up majorly paranoid... 

Too Stoned

I wrote this song after hearing one too many songs on mainstream radio about getting rich. I was also feeling very frustrated by the public acceptance of our countries role as one of the worlds largest arms dealers. The vocals style is very dated for me now, but people still love the track so it's gotta go up here!

Money Money Money

We've all been there... you're supposed to be going out dancing, but the sofa is just so comfy.. the fires alight, the TV's on, and suddenly the outside world just seems way too hectic and far away. Well, next time this happens, you have the remedy... the new single "These Days" from The Undercover Hippy is the perfect tonic to get you up out of the sofa and into that taxi!

Last Chance To Dance

This is a track inspired by the story of a friend I made in The Gambia. 

Long Way Down (feat. Batch Gueye)

I wrote this song following the riots that took place across the UK in 2011. It was a response to the way in which our Government and media chose to demonise the young people involved, looking for an easy scapegoat, rather than looking at the social conditions and inequality that led us to that point.

Our Streets

I wrote this song about 5 years ago, but it's never been more relevant than today. The current refugee crisis is the largest we have seen since the second world war, but our governments are treating the victims like an invading army. Only through acknowledging our shared humanity and rediscovering our compassion can this crisis be averted. Please do what you can to help, however small.

Borders

The first single from the forthcoming album "Truth & Fiction" by The Undercover Hippy! Album out May 20th.

Truth & Fiction

Rise & Fall

This a song about Brexit and the politics of division. It's about Britain's nostalgia for the days of empire, and how that fantasy has delivered us into the hands of populist opportunists and right-wing zealots. It's also about fat reggae bass and dirty clav lines!
