Heaven 17 are to record a new version of (We Don’t Need This) Fascist Groove Thang, because... well, have you seen the news recently?
The single was originally released back in 1981 in the wake of Ronald Reagan’s election in the United States. Indeed, it was initially banned by the BBC for referencing Reagan in its lyrics. But recently it’s been taken up as an anthem of resistance to the Trump regime in the States, which fills its co-writer Martyn Ware with a strange mixture of pride and dismay.
