Clare Easdown & The Cunning Linguists – Burn the Swastika (Single)
Released on
February 9, 2025, Burn the Swastika is the latest single from Australian
artist Clare Easdown, delivering a fearless and unapologetic statement against
racism and bigotry. This politically charged track is the result of Easdown’s
collaboration with Jade Ryan, forming the dynamic duo The Cunning Linguists.
Their
journey began unexpectedly through Tinder, leading to a shared love of punk
music and an unfiltered passion for making noise. Inspired by legendary acts
like Bikini Kill, Fugazi, and Amyl and the Sniffers, their sound blends
aggressive energy with a DIY ethos. Recorded in Clare’s living room using just
an iPhone and Apple headphones, the track embraces imperfections, reinforcing
its unfiltered, rebellious spirit.
Lyrically, Burn
the Swastika is a direct response to rising far-right activity,
particularly neo-Nazi demonstrations in Australia. The song channels raw
emotion and urgency, echoing the punk mantra of speaking truth to power. Since
its release, the duo—known for busking across Sydney and tearing up stages at
The Moshpit Bar—has been making waves with their bold message. Loud, defiant,
and uncompromising—this is punk at its most powerful.
