Riding a hefty drop down bass riff courtesy of the track’s producer, acclaimed DJ/artist, Sub Focus, the Belfast / Derry trio, KNEECAP, have focused on the British states abuse of power and intimidation following their failed pursuit at charging Mo Chara with terrorism offences. ‘No Comment’ hits back hard, another massive track that will bounce off the walls of clubs and arenas. The Artwork features Banksy’s now infamous ‘Royal Courts of Justice’ mural – used with kind permission from the artist. ‘No Comment’ follows recent massive collaborations with Mozey on ‘The Recap’ and Paul Hartnoll of Orbital on ‘Sayōnara’ and 2024’s critically acclaimed album ‘Fine Art.’
Kneecap is a global phenomenon. Bursting out from a squat in Belfast, Móglaí Bap, Mo Chara, and DJ Próvaí are spearheading a moment in Irish culture, music, language, and cinema that has brought them to sensational levels. All it took was a generational talent to tear through conventions, expectations, and records. This is hip-hop at its most exciting – a potent and revolutionary force, smashing bans, barricades, and the occasional bottle of Buckfast.
Whether they’re rolling up to Sundance in a police Land Rover, encouraging tens of thousands of young people to learn Irish, breaking box office records in Ireland, storming stages at festivals with epic main stage sets, Kneecap’s message and mode of unity, community, and carnage, all comes with a revolutionary sound, and blistering live performances that have built a global movement of fans unified in the joy and sweat of soaking up fine art like no other.
