If you call us “retro” we’re going to pretend it’s because you appreciate our fondness for tar & feathering, tea parties, & guillotines rather than our predilection for making music with guitars and drums and shit

Sydney Post-Punk Outfit Second Idol Debut Video for Drum-Driven Diaspora Dirge "Postcolonial Blues" — Post-Punk.com
There is a weight one carries, not in the hands but in the marrow; a heaviness born before breath, pressed into the bones by the machinery of empire. To grow up in a colonial world is to walk among ruins built on the backs of others, to drink from wells dug by hands long vanished, to inherit comforts stitched with invisible suffering. History is not past; it is a presence, a shadow cast across every field, every street, every quiet morning. It is the knowledge that one's ease rests on another’s erasure, that the soil itself bears the memory of blood. Reckoning does not cleanse; it exposes. And in that exposure, a question gnaws: how to stand upright while history’s weight bears down, how to move forward without forgetting who paid the price.
