Vitriol Works

A sublimely subversive collection of hard-hitting honesty exploring social and sexual politics, identity and alienation, and searching for meaning within an un-governed, post-Brexit, pandemic-enduring nation.

"A rallying cry, a withering put-down and the best song you ever heard all at once. Northern Gothic at its finest." AJ McKenna, spoken word artist
