Across the land, there's a growing feeling that Britain simply isn't working.
Sure, those are the top are getting ahead, but those at the bottom – the people responsible for the nuts and bolts of any society – are being pushed further down.
FANS seem to be able to put these feelings into words. New EP 'Born Into' is "basically based around the idea that social mobility is an illusion, that what circumstances you're 'Born Into', 90% of the time is where you'll end up. A feeling that people who are poor aren't valued and have no real control or voice. It is literally becoming a crime to be poor which is fucking mental, and if you happen to be in that situation then it seems like human life ceases to have any value."
Stark songwriting matched to huge, wall of noise, guitar lines, FANS recall the black-clad noise pop of The Jesus & Mary Chain or even the more abrasive side of My Bloody Valentine.
Clash is able to premiere new cut 'If God Is Real' and it's a blunt assessment of Britain's backward slide.
