The agitator

The Agitator is music for the coming austerity. No holds barred, bang that thing and sing as if your head is about to fall off, rip up the rule book, celebrate if you feel the need and let those who torment you know that you're not happy. Direct, visceral, uplifting and above all, UNIVERSAL.
