Kid Kapichi have shared the latest cut from their forthcoming album, taking aim at “the system of policing”.
New single ‘999’ is the third teaser from the band’s forthcoming ‘There Goes The Neighbourhood’ LP, which was announced last month.
It follows previous singles ‘Let’s Get To Work’ and ‘Tamagotchi’, with all three tracks bearing Kid Kapichi’s raucous energy.
Have a listen to ‘999’ via its lyric video below.
‘There Goes The Neighbourhood’ arrives 15 March and will be the follow-up to last year’s ‘Here’s What You Could Have Won’.
Speaking of the album’s latest single, Kid Kapichi have explained what the track is about, sharing:
“The system of policing is supposedly designed to protect the interests of the people, but in reality, it only works to protect the interests of the state and the systems of power that control this country.
“Like our political system, policing is institutionally racist, rife with misogyny & sexual violence, and is granted the power and license to act above the law with impunity.
“People have a right to feel angry and betrayed by the lack of accountability for police misconduct in this country, it’s a disgrace.
“It shouldn’t take widespread public unrest, social media outrage, or protest for police to be held to account for crimes and misconduct, it should be the norm.”
To celebrate the release of their forthcoming album, Kid Kapichi will also be hitting the road a couple of weeks after its release, for a run of UK and European dates.
