For his study of anti-Muslim Muzaffarnagar Riot, HENRY BELL applauds Joe Sacco for a devastatingly effective combination of graphic novel and investigative journalism
GLASGOW band The Tenementals, fronted by David Archibald, is joined by Lily Mohaupt on lead vocals for their version of the seminal German anti-fascist anthem Die Moorsoldaten (The Peat Bog Soldiers) in their debut single released yesterday.
The song is well-known in Germany but less so here despite versions by Luke Kelly, Pete Seeger and Paul Robeson. The Tenementals reimagine the song, paring the verses down to drums, bass and Lily Mohaupt’s crystal pure vocals emphasising the stark, haunting melody.
