THE MEN THAT WILL NOT BE BLAMED FOR NOTHING RELEASE 'BABY FARMER' VIDEO
7th March 2018
London-based, Victorian-themed punks, The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing have shared the lyric video for 'Baby Farmer', ahead of the release of their new album, 'Double Negative', on Friday.
Bassist Marc Burrows tells us:
"This is the story of Amelia Dyer, a 'baby farmer'. She would offer to find homes for unwanted children for a fee, then usually drown the baby and pocket the cash. She's thought to have killed around 400 babies between 1871 and 1896, making her one of history's most prolific serial killers.
"We gave the story an occult twist, with old Father Thames, the river god eventually putting his foot down. It's one of Andy's most twisted lyrics. Musically, this is a taught little number, nodding to 80s punk on both side of the Atlantic with a dash of NWOBHM."
In support of the new album, the band take to the road throughout the UK from Monday, dates as follows:
Monday 12th March: Nottingham, Rescue Rooms Tuesday 13th March: Newcastle, Trillians Wednesday 14th March: Edinburgh, Bannermans Thursday 15th March: Birmingham, Castle & Falcon Saturday 17th March: York, Fulford Arms Sunday 18th March: Milton Keynes, Craufurd Arms Monday 19th March: Cardiff, Globe Tuesday 20th March: Chester, The Live Rooms Wednesday 21th March: Leicester, The Shed Thursday 22th March: Exeter, The Cavern Friday 23th March: London, The Dome Saturday 24th March: Southampton, Joiners Sunday 25th March: Bristol, The Exchange
