Brighton’s art-rock quintet Youth Sector deliver a scathing critique of modern political media with their infectious new single ‘Primetime’.
An anthemic Franz Ferdinand-esque indie banger, ‘Primetime’ delivers a message that addresses how media platforms promote incompetent and dangerous political figures no matter their rhetoric.Frontman Nick Thompkis explains “Primetime was written about how it seems that the media can’t resist putting our most egregious morons on the airwaves. Johnson, Truss, Farage, Trump and countless others have reached heights and found audiences well beyond where their competency should have allowed them and it’s been facilitated in no small part by our media landscape holding a megaphone up to their every hair-brained thought because it makes for ‘good copy”.
This commentary, wrapped in a catchy and energetic song, highlights Youth Sector’s ability to blend sharp social observations with irresistible musical hooks.
