Modern Age Music Song of the Day: Dream Nails – ‘This Is The Summer’

Dream Nails have released their self-titled debut album, out now via Alcopop! Records.

London’s self-confessed ‘feminist punk witches’ have gained notoriety for their activist and outspoken material which is driven by their DIY approach. The album’s final single ‘The Is The Summer’ is a short, sharp punk blast with upbeat, catchy guitar riffs and a distinct vocal.

“‘This Is The Summer’ is a song about how our climate is breaking down irreversibly,” explains Dream Nails vocalist Janey Starling. “Colonial capitalism, waged by UK governments and corporations for centuries, has ravaged our earth.

“We need to be urgently fighting for migrant rights so the UK welcomes climate refugees displaced by countries hit by extreme weather.

“We must demand transparency from oil companies who relentlessly put profit before people, even as the world burns.”
