about

Started whilst living in the UK and finished after moving to Australia. This challenges the whole "Terror" propaganda that the US and UK governments were peddling, to try and justify being war mongers. It talks about all of the different people met on a night out, and although they are all from different communities and religious backgrounds I never felt any terror. The chorus takes the piss out of George Bush blaming rising gun violence in the USA on rappers like Eminem, whilst he was ordering the largest military strikes the world had ever seen.

lyrics

WALKS AMONGST US

Good evening ladies and gentlemen
Tonight’s two and a half hour relaxation contest
Is bought to you courtesy of RPG Radio

Take advantage of the smoky pub culture
The beautiful game tailored to an eleven thirty eruption
Everything is for sale but I can decide for myself
This smoke screen hides no sinister intent
Roam, groan, take the beer scooter home
Public transport curfew orders you home to bed
I am a member of a multicultural community
Noel is the purveyor of the finest post game refreshments bar fucking none
He doesn’t drink but I listen as he sings the praises of Arsenal and his Subaru
And we smoke for peace

Yeah, terror walks amongst us
But I don’t think Slim’s behind it, do you?
I believe, he walks amongst us
You can't catch him ‘cause he rides the bus

Extra time is always hard on the legs
But I know I can rely on Mr. Singh
He’s a Doctor but drives a cab
We have enough Doctors
He predicts terror for English batsmen
I offer him a coffee from the Nags Head and wave him goodbye
Carmello talks about Italian football
While he attacks me with Italian pop music
We don’t agree on everything but I remain calm and un-terrified

It seems we live in dangerous times
Of our own designs terror finds that negligent minds
Can produce nuke keys from fools’ sleeves
It grinds down hard on your average man
And like a wise man once said…

about

RPG Radio image

RPG Radio Melbourne, Australia

Former Londoner Darren Reston’s harsh spoken word gives way to melodic choruses that provoke thought and the odd wry smile. Think Arctic Monkeys, Pink Floyd, while drawing influence from classic bands such as Led Zeppelin, Radiohead, Tom Waits. Featuring Kein Jenkin (drums), Frank Pearce (bass), and Dan Sheehan (keys), RPG Radio are an irresistible tour-de-force of lyric and texture. ... more
