Kid Kapichi tackle “the system of policing” and how it “only works to protect the interests of the state and the systems of power that control this country” with new single 999.
Kid Kapichi have shared a typically passionate and outspoken new single called 999.
Given its title, it’s no surprise that the track addresses “the system of policing”, which the band explain “is supposedly designed to protect the interests of the people, but in reality, it only works to protect the interests of the state and the systems of power that control this country. Like our political system, policing is institutionally racist, rife with misogyny and sexual violence, and is granted the power and license to act above the law with impunity.”
They continue: “People have a right to feel angry and betrayed by the lack of accountability for police misconduct in this country, it’s a disgrace. It shouldn’t take widespread public unrest, social media outrage, or protest for police to be held to account for crimes and misconduct, it should be the norm.”
The track is taken from Kid Kapichi’s new album There Goes The Neighbourhood, which is due out on March 15 via Spinefarm Records.
