Catholic Action release second single ‘People Don’t Protest Enough’

Catholic Action dropped the second single ‘People Don’t Protest Enough’ earlier this month on the eve of the General Election in yet another opinionated record.

The Glaswegian quartet shared the first single ‘One Of Us’ in October which took aim at the billionaire-owned media and their Bullingdon Club ilk. The newly launched single is, or was, a call to “organise”.

Lead singer and guitarist Chris McCrory outlines: “This is Casiotone for the politically marginalised. This is Krautrock for a progressive, positive future. And most importantly, this is a timely reminder that there are more of us than there are of them.

“People need to organise. Put down your phone, take your fingers out of your genitals and get on the streets – It really works. People Don’t Protest Enough.”

While these songs are in debt to their progressive 70s influences of Eno, Fripp, and Talking Heads, it’s more the sound of a band finding themselves and living very much in the now – for the love of the music and the message alone. Come together, strangers. Get involved. This is more than just pop.

“It’s definitely an opinionated record, that’s for sure. I wouldn’t want to make a record that didn’t say anything.” – Chris McCroy

Having just wrapped up a headline UK tour, the band’s sophomore album Celebrated by Strangers is set for release on March 27th, 2020. Pre-order now.
