Whitehouse : PM Gonna Save Us

I've heard a ton of excellent protest music, and plenty of quality race-based hip hop from Indigenous Australians and new migrants. This is neither of those. This song is a well-intended but poorly executed musical commentary on John Howard's Northern Territory intervention policy which decries the tarring of all aboriginal people with the paedophile/alcoholic brush and argues for increased education and employment over paternalistic control measures. So anyway, not a bad message, but Jesus Christ does the music suck. The track is lifted from an album called A Funk Intervention, which should tell you everything you need to know about their sound.

"Not a bad message but Jesus Christ does the music suck"...hmmm I wonder where this middle-class white teenage school girl got her journo degree?? Trying to be hip for the kids maybe? Thanks so much for slamming our debut album before it even hits the shelves and itunes April 6 and btw it's called a Funky Intervention and you can't even be bothered to make a proper link to our Youtube site where we are actually getting nice props. One comment there says "Funky Realism". Anyone interested in forming their own opinion please visit our youtube site at http://youtu.be/XgOYICyA_J4
