Pankhurst – No One Wanna Read Tolstoj (2021)
While there are a lot of anti-war songs out there, Pankhurst is adding something more to their take with ‘No One Wanna Read Tolstoj’. While the single takes a stand against war, it also targets the mentality that leads to violence including wilful ignorance and faith in government structures that have stood unchanged. Using an explosion of punk rock aggression, the band lets loose through a revolutionary approach while inviting every listener to join the movement or just have a great time to the track.
Operating from the shadows, the band lets their music speak for itself as it unleashes their uncompromising anti-establishment sound.
