The Work: I Hate America (1981)

Quite a polarizing and still edgy sounding 1981 single by The Work. The Work being Henry Cow
founder Tim Hodgkinson’s early 80’s post-punk combo. Sounding every bit like their studio mates This Heat
having a battle royale with Captain Beefheart
‘s Magic Band, this violently convulsive tune is the very definition of apoplectic rage. And this was only 1981 ! Imagine how angry this would have been had it been recorded in the Bushco era ! Fortunately there’s enough bile in this track to apply to any other past or future outrage you’d care to. Art rock sticking it to the man !
