    Now this is how rock and roll should be played, i’m glad these guys are getting recognition in the states because they blow radio rock bands out of the water

    reminds me of the 1970s and 80s . The jam, The Specials, Buzzcocks , The clash - these boys make me feel like that!

    When the guitar cut out, they knew this take was screwed, so they went all in and said "let's tear this place up!" and it made the whole performance even more powerful and real. These guys have come to single-handedly save music and I am here to cheer them on!

    You're not alive until you start kicking
    When the room is spinning and the words ain't sticking
    And the radio is all about a runaway model
    With a face like sin and a heart like a James Joyce novel
    Saying sister, sister, how I missed ya, missed ya
    Let's go wrist to wrist and take the skin off of my blister
    If you're a rockstar, pornstar, superstar, doesn't matter what you are
    Get yourself a good car, get outta here
    Well
    But the boys in the better land
    You're always talking 'bout the boys in the better land

    Driver's got names to fill two double barrels
    He spits out brits out, only smokes Carrolls
    And he's ref reshing the world in mind, body and spirit
    Mind body and spirit
    You better hear it and fear it
    Oh, that's the spirit
    Saying sister, sister, how I missed ya, missed ya
    Let's go wrist to wrist and take the skin off of my blister
    If you're a rockstar, pornstar, superstar, doesn't matter what you are

      It's saying how this person "spits out" the words 'Brits out' in a sense of anglophobia. "Only smokes Carrolls" refers to how he only smokes Irish cigarettes in his wanting to be a pure Irishman.
