’20 Million Andrew Tates’ is the new single from the forthcoming debut album Scratch Card Empiresdue for release in October by Wasps vs Humans.
In collaboration with F.O.W.L, ‘20 Million Andrew Tates‘ takes the distinctive punk folk WvHs’ sound, mixed with electronic overdubs to produce an up-tempo, yet dark indie track.
The new single calls out the widespread hate, misogyny, homophobia and objectification through online trolling and cyberbullying. With reference to an online controversial influential figure, ’20 Million Andrew Tates’ addresses issues of macho wealth, sex peddling and greed. Attracting young boys to aspire and idolise harmful role models, it is a disturbing reminder of a viral obsession, promoting toxic ideologies, isolation and devoid of any moral compass.
Gaining a reputation on the live circuit for their high octane performances, WvHs are an anarchic mix of drums, bodhrán, whistles, punk poetry, songs and beats, featuring punk poet, drummer and guitarist Carl Antony Plover and singer, bodhrán and whistle player Linda Plover.
In a previous incarnation, the husband and wife duo performed under the name Chunky Planet, releasing a number of tracks and receiving ‘Pick of the Fortnight’ in Hot Press magazine for their single ‘Pensioners Watch TV’ in 2004.
Initially a solo project, WvHs punk poet/drummer, Carl Antony Plover has shared the stage with some of Ireland’s and UK’s well-regarded performers and lyrical geniuses, including John Cooper Clarke, Christy Moore, Whipping boy, Jinx Lennon, Scroobius Pip and a daring opening set for The Fall. As a musician, he has released an album and single with 80’s Avant Garde band 4,000,000 Telephones, with critical acclaim in the UK national press and making the playlist on BBC radio’s John Peel show.
‘20 Million Andrew Tates’ by Wasps vs Humans ft F.O.W.L. will be available to download through the WvHs’ band camp page from Friday July 5, 2024, as well the usual online platforms.
