Stevenage, U.K.-based punk/noise-rock band Bad Breeding challenges the social and political status quo with two new singles, "Corrupting Fist" and "Remembering". "Corrupting Fist" is accompanied by a graphic video about social injustice, unrest, and violence that currently exists in many parts of the world.
Frontman Christopher Dodd describes the concept behind "Corrupting Fist" and its video, saying: "The idea sprung from... us trying to shift the weight of increasingly bleak prospects served up by proposed changes in government policy, inhumane responses to what’s developing in Europe and further east, as well as the deepening impact of social and political injustices prevalent back home.
There’s a sense of despondent acceptance in the early stages of the song and that was an attempt to hint at the impact of blame culture and that idea of immovable resignation that comes from feeling disenfranchised. The latter stages are more about finding your feet and offering some sort of resistance to the rank shite we’re forced to trudge through. Lyrically, it’s a bit of a coiled investigation of my mindset and outlook at the moment – something that flutters between being damagingly negative and naively hopeful."
