Man & The Echo, a self-proclaimed political band, is fronted by Gaz Roberts, a man who experienced first-hand how devastating a Conservative government can be for some people, which is the inspiration behind a lot of the band's songs.

Having seen them play live a fair few times, I know ‘Very Personally Yours’ may on a first listen appear to just be about a wedding, but it’s actually about how Tories ruin weddings. ‘All Right’ is about an unpleasant experience in a Conservative village, in a pub that ‘was pro fox hunting, they had Union Jack bunting, and the papers on the bar were only useful for one thing, they were all right’. ‘Care Routine’ is about the hard work at-home carers do, and their lack of funding. ‘Honeysucker’ is about the government literally sucking the joy out of everyone.

I chatted to Gaz about the real importance of political music, and his views on it all.
