NEW E.P - 'DAUNTLESS ZEAL'
Byronic Sex & Exile proudly presents ‘Dauntless
Zeal’, a new six-track E.P of originals and covers to be
released on Friday 19th June.
The E.P explores various political themes in step with our
turbulent times, as well as exploring a variety of different
musical genres and approaches.
‘Bella Ciao (Avanti!)’ is a stirring and expansive
rendition of the famous anthem of the Italian partisans, and is
an extended reworking of the version that appeared on the
‘Lessons From The Mountain’ E.P in 2021.
‘The Last Day Of School’ is a brooding statement of
defiance and rage, a protest against the American bombing of the
Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, on the first day of
U.S-Iranian War on 28th February 2026. The strikes killed 168
people, including 120 children.
‘Jamie Foyers’ is a haunting paen to a fallen member of
the International Brigades who fought fascism in Spain, and was
originally written by Ewan MacColl.
‘Chalk Farm Rebel’ is a homage to John Thelwall, the
firebrand social reformer who was one of the leading lights of
English Jacobinism.
‘Vive O Poder Popular' is a drastically reworked version of
Jose 'Zeca' Afonso’s song about the revolt against fascism
in Portugal during the Carnation Revolution.
‘Give Raul A Gun’ is a gesture of solidarity with the
people of Cuba, who are currently undergoing a total fuel embargo
by the United States.
The album is available via digital download here.
LEEDS SHOW - 6TH JULY
With a new E.P cooling in the oven ahead of release this Friday,
it's time to turn my attention to the next stage of the 'Last Of
The Goths' project!
To that end, I'll be performing a one-off gig at my old stomping
ground The Pack Horse, Hyde Park on Monday 6th July to debut the
beginnings of a new show - the return of the Jacobin gothic, full
of medievalism and mystery. A 'Night At Udolpho', if you will.
Special guest will be my old chum Alice Nicholls, who will be
getting the evening started rite with a set of dark gothic folk.
Tickets are £10 via Bandcamp - and in
honour of the International Medieval Congress taking place over
the road that week, all accredited IMC attendees can buy a
reduced £5 ticket too!
All proceeds will be donated to the Goth City Community Action
Fund.
LAST OF
THE GOTHS TOUR (PART 1)
Now that the Count is back in
his box, it's time to open up the velvet curtains and embrace the
possibilities of BS&E's Jacobin Era…
‘Last Of The Goths Tour (Part 1) will be a mission statement,
dedicated to warrior poets, revolutionary romanticism, and the
dark passionate heart of the Gothic itself. Featuring special
guests and a new, stripped-down stage show, expect new music,
lost causes and gothic drama in all their glory!
