It\u2019s a song, a piece of art, a point of view that is incredibly easy to understand and, if adopted, is simply saying that EVERYTHING and EVERYONE are important and relative.&nbsp;Never before in the history of human existence have we been able to see all the hard facts and information about how our civilisation functions and what we do to ourselves and our incredible planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fucking Expensive is a mindset, a declaration of the inherent value of everything in life. From the mundane to the extraordinary, it recognises the priceless worth of existence. It&#8217;s not about monetary value; it&#8217;s about cherishing every moment, every relationship, and every experience as irreplaceable. Fucking Expensive reminds us that life&#8217;s richness lies in the appreciation of its infinite complexities. It&#8217;s a philosophy that transcends material possessions, embracing the profound truth that everything and everyone is fucking expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI know it seems counter-intuitive, but the song is actually a celebration of how we always find a way to connect, to enjoy, to revel in the good bits, to appreciate the moment, to simply be,\u201d states Dunstan. \u201cIn a world where every-fucking-thing is monetised I\u2019m saying, \u201cFuck that\u201d. We don\u2019t exist in this world to make money. That\u2019s not the reason we\u2019re here. I\u2019m saying that this is your one chance, your one opportunity, your one go at life; so don\u2019t wait; do it. Now!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People say the simple ideas are the best and this new release pulls no punches, everything about this song holds your attention and that\u2019s saying something these days. The orchestral strings add the tension, the huge beats pull the song along like a truck and Dunstan\u2019s words and delivery hold everyone and everything to account. This is punk in every way but without the guitars. Dunstan\u2019s punk roots still shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FUCKING EXPENSIVE\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wBa0BeUTJbY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Dunstan has been working with producers and Oscar winning team Tarn Willers and Jimi Ogden who have been capturing Dunstan\u2019s distinctive vocal delivery while producing tracks that have been crafted with original and inspired style. Dunstan recorded the track in Brighton in the studio of MY LIFE STORY frontman Jake Shillingford whose vocals also appear on both tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the start this song invites the listener to join in with every verse and chorus (it\u2019s very hard not to) Dunstan\u2019s history and much of his legacy comes from the original and constant band that was CHUMBAWAMBA. Selling more than 5 million albums attaining triple platinum status. Being one of the original DIY bands, from a squat in Leeds to touring the world shouting all the way with their AGITPOP. Dunstan is also a filmmaker and still playing gigs around the country with his creative projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Available July 26<sup>th<\/sup> via Heavy Medication Records, the single is a double A side and also features the track \u2018Pin Number\u2019 and will be available digitally and on limited coloured vinyl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pre-order \u2018Fucking Expensive\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/heavymedicationrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/fucking-expensive-pin-number?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR2Dpk6BDW1vTEcEhEaQXV7kTwOfkdBOsFfp9mI1Y07y1dk76-hQOo8FM1I_aem_qVsvfY7D6SGeTlFixy2eeA\">HERE<\/a>:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PRE-ORDER THE SINGLE HERE: FUCKING EXPENSIVE is a new single fronted and performed by Dunstan Bruce, former singer in the band Chumbawamba, and current frontman in Interrobang\u203d, and known for his deep-rooted connection&nbsp;to political music.
