Short Bursts of Anger

For forty years as singer of political punk band, Riot/Clone, Dave Floyd has railed against injustice and in particular been a supporting voice for animal rights. Now, for the first time, all his poems and lyrics are compiled together in two volumes along with notes giving some context or biographical detail behind them.

This first volume takes us from his early works to the end of the millennium and includes material never previously released.

This second volume continues where the first left off and includes material never previously released.

"As fiercely relevant now as they were when they were written, the names of Dave's targets might've changed but the enemy remains the same. An essential reminder of what Riot/Clone are all about" - Steve White (Steve White & the Protest Family)

"Blimey, I thought he was dead." - A. Sockpuppet

"To the point lyrics with no compromise in sight. As honest and raw as it can get and I wouldn't have expected less. A must read for anybody with a conscience." - Nathalie Dessi (Gina Simmons & the Nobodies)

"Don't you dare, we have enough clutter!" - Mrs Sockpuppet

"Dark razor sharp wit, righteous unaccomodated anger, perfect no-nonsense verbal snapshots in rhythm, rhyme & rhetoric...punk's original ferocious feral intelligence is alive & kicking in every one of Dave Floyd's ever so well-chosen words." - Robb Johnson
