What tracks from the Birkenhead band should make the playlist?
After being criticised for always playing ‘Joy Division Oven Gloves’ on StereoUnderground, host Richard Latto has made the band featured artist this week. Known for their razor sharp, biting lyrics & post punk indie sound HMHB manage to mix humour & bleakness in equal measure.
I do believe that their lyrics to National Shite Day are simply brilliant:
“Fat kids with sausage rolls
Poor sods conducting polls
There's a man with a mullet going mad with a mallet in Millets”
Anyway, what tracks should make the cut?

It was NATIONAL SHITE DAY when #stereounderground was taken off air. The TRUMPTON RIOTS occurred on-line; folk were DEPRESSED BEYOND TABLETS!
Complaints to Points of View;
LETTERS SENT to some BOGUS OFFICIAL at the Beeb-written in crayon whilst wearing JOY DIVISION OVEN GLOVES.
