New Zealand London-based band announce new mini-album and drop a brilliant new single

Written and recorded in-between lockdowns in 2020, New Zealand born but London-based punks Desperate Measures drop a new video. It’s called The Rich-Tual, and you can see and hear it in all it’s brilliant glory here.

It’s taken from the band’s forthcoming mini-album, due this summer on the Easy Action label, labelmates include Brian James from the Damned, Iggy and the Stooges, Lords of the New Church and, er, Marc Bolan and T-Rex.

The Rich-Tual is billed as “a bullet of classic punk reloaded for the pandemic generation that rips from the speakers screaming ‘fuck the system, before the system fucks you!”
