Hello Wonk Fam - Krispy here - Alex is happy on Upscrolled these days (get yourself over there!).

I've helped put together the latest Wonk Newsletter. Alex's words, my bodging the layout 😃

It's a lovely thing - there's an MP3 of a new song, another new song video... A new 'mystery' drummer being broken in (nice one mate!) It's all there!

Oh and a load of new t-shirts up on the website too. If you're not signed up, please do - helps Alex keep in touch with everyone!

And of course I'll use this post to mention the two day DIY gig I'm putting on in May - Wonk headline the Saturday. In lovely Stamford (off the A1 north of Pboro). https://socksonrecords.bigcartel.com/product/the-scary-god-socks-weekender-bender

See what I done there? Many years ago Pwosion was in a band called Loophole (Household Name Records first ever release). They used to do a zine called Loophole Friends and Family so I just figured a few seconds again that I would steal their idea. Im pleased with myself for that coz I always liked t...

I love you all. My poor brain can’t take the constant imperialist slaughter anymore. That face of Keir Starmer makes me feel physically sick. I’m off legacy social media. We have a mailing list which you’ll find on our website which will be a fun, silly and positive experience. You’ll also find us on UpScrolled which needs your support to be a legitimate musical/ artistic alternative to the meta platforms. I think this a nice picture prompted by Vezzy. I love her very much and I love you all very much. Please come and find us. ###

Hi loves. For all Wonk information moving forward please join this mailing list. I promise you no legacy media propaganda and horrifying footage of murdered children by our civilised western governments. I can also guarantee you no photos of that pathetic spineless used nappy of a prime minister Keir Starmer. I’m so fu**in done with how fu**ed things are heading.
Instead I may get Pwosion or Vez to do little drawings of birds or cats. Something nice anyway. I’m done. Goodbye Meta. If you want us on social media please join Upscrolled.

I love you all so much x

EDIT - mailing list link in bio or on post pinned to top of page. If you could add your details there it’ll save loads of time! Thanks folks xx

Morning dear friends.

Been working with good old Krispy (from the Scary Clown fam) in getting our affairs in order, kissing goodbye to Meta and other ethically bankrupt platforms and riding into the sunset with a slightly cleaner conscience. A lot of you asked about a mailing list to keep up to date with our goings on so here it is, new updated and simple.

For those of you who may have missed this madness, to summarise - our tech overlords are scum. Think what they “could” achieve with all their money and power? Erase world hunger? Fight to combat global warming? End homelessness? Nah, let’s invest in weapons companies, let’s support genocidal nations, let’s cosy up to Donald Trump, let’s hang out on an island and eat babies (who knows, it’s seems like they are in the right circles).
So I was like, “nah, not gonna be part of this anymore”.

Then as if by magic, the planets aligned and an alternate and so far ethically progressive social media platform was created called UpScrolled and I figured I’d take that leap of faith, up sticks and move there.
And loads of you moved too! We are neighbours! It was very exciting. Well over a thousand of you guys from the DIY punk scene joined in a week. I recommend you all get yourselves over to the new app, we need you to be a real alternative to the machine.

Anyway, this mailing list is all part of an ongoing fazing out process of the Meta platforms.
Sign up lovelies and I promise to only fill your inboxes with deranged prose, art, music and the sickest merch.

Love you all.
