I'm still putting together my blog entry on the taqwacore punk bands Al Thawra and The Kominas and hope to publish it shortly. Until then, following on from last week's taster "Sharia Law In The USA" by The Kominas, here is a crisp biscuit from Chicago punks Al Thawra. "Miskeen" which is arabic for a poor or unlucky person is taken from their 2008 CD "Who Benefits From War". This is about as abrasive arab music ever gets and is not for the faint-hearted.
The Kominas are coming to the Bradford Playhouse this Sunday (the 10th)... the info will be on the website v shortly at www.bradfordplayhouse.co.uk. Can you help us publicise it? Follow us on twitter @bradfordph or e-mail adam@bradfordplayhouse.co.uk and let's get the crowd in to this last minute gem of a gig?
