This is the debut album from Joe Hakim and Mike Watts with poetry taken from their spoken word show, Poetry Is Dead.
Taking performance poetry by the throat, Poetry Is Dead is an unflinching observation of life in the twenty-first century, an acerbic verbal happy slap in the face of spoken word.
Tackling themes ranging from boy-racers to pet rats to gambling addiction, Poetry Is Dead is premier league poetry from the streets of Hull. Raw and uncompromising, this show pulls no punches with its sometimes shocking observations.
Expect dynamic delivery that will leave you reeling, and prepare to have your poetry preconceptions challenged.
It’s £5 for this limited edition, 30 track original studio recording.
