Featured Tune: "We Are All Working Class Now" from The Red Lite District
reviews
A Punk Anthem for Unity and Release
With “We Are All Working Class Now,” The Red Lite District crank up the volume and deliver a furious burst of punk-and-oi energy. It’s the kind of track that doesn’t just play in the background; it barrels into the room, grabs you by the collar, and demands you move with it. From the very first chord, there’s no mistaking this as anything but a rallying cry, stitched together with the grit of punk and the raw power of oi.
What makes the song so engaging isn’t just its energy, though that alone could light up a small city. It’s the way the band threads urgency with melody, grounding chaos in something you can actually shout along to. There’s a pulse here, a collective heartbeat, as if the song itself wants to dissolve barriers and get everyone into the same sweaty, joy-fueled mosh pit.
Thematically, it’s clever without being heavy-handed, a sharp nod to old political slogans while stripping away pretension. Instead, what’s left is a celebration of shared humanity, the simple urge to come together for the sake of music and release. You can feel the band’s chemistry pouring out of every line and riff, proving that they’re at their most electric when they lean into this kind of communal energy.
“We Are All Working Class Now” doesn’t just end the EP; it blows the roof off it, leaving you exhilarated and a little breathless. It’s proof that punk still knows how to unite, excite, and remind us that we’re all in this together.
