Joey Only And The Comrades - Radical Folk Of The Great North

Review by Ron Murray

Radical Folk of the Great North by Joey Only and the Comrades is a powerful and thought-provoking album that showcases the best of protest music. The album features a mix of traditional folk songs and original compositions, all of which are infused with a strong sense of social justice and activism.

Joey Only's lyrics are sharp and insightful, tackling issues such as environmentalism, workers' rights, and indigenous sovereignty. The Comrades provide a solid musical backdrop for the songs, with their blend of acoustic instruments and punk rock energy.

Standout tracks include "The Ballad of William Martin," a haunting tale of a man who fought against the exploitation of the natural world, and "The Only Good Fascist is a Very Dead Fascist," a fiery anthem that calls for resistance against oppression.

Summary by Ron Murray

Radical Folk of the Great North is an excellent album that deserves to be heard by anyone who cares about the state of the world and wants to be inspired to take action. Joey Only and the Comrades have created a powerful and engaging work of protest music that will surely stand the test of time.
