Kero Kero Bonito are concerned with the current state of The World. It’s a mess, especially post-Brexit, and more important than ever before that young people take a stand and get involved.
“The most important thing right now,” says Gus Lobban in the new issue of Dork, is “forming bands and singing songs – actually saying shit. Don’t just sit around watching Facebook, scrolling through the same shit your mate posted two days ago. What the fuck is going on?!”
