PSB release anti-ID cards choone

Are PSB going 'political'? Did they go political YEARS ago and I just had no idea? Do bands now LOSE credibility when they try and use their music to make political statements? How many people didn't tick D:Ream in that Now poll but quite like the song? I ticked it. I probably would have bought it way back then if it hadn't appeared on said Now compilation.

Yes I get this too. The sense that people should be seen to be saying something. It was completely ineffectual but I still miss it - when did it go, though? Oasis?

The PSB were largely implicit in their politics tho, and I suppose a lot of stuff still is. That impulse to deal with British Life in pop music certainly hasn't gone, but there's no particular attempt to ally it to a political standpoint.
