The truth is slowly being erased in the name of progress’ elitist sibling, gentrification, everywhere you look there is the eradication of what makes a city or a town hum with excitement, with the friction of what is real and what sticks out like a sore thumb in the face of modern and the beige. Yet despite the feeling of up to date dogma and glistening glass that shrouds us all into being consumers of the unwanted, there is still the Dogrel of those who refuse banality and same safe thoughts of not standing out, the voice of those who perhaps read Joyce’s Dubliners and revelled in the early punk ethic captured by The Boomtown Rats and who now commit to keeping a certain culture alive and beating hard.
