You might have noticed some of your favourite bands getting more political in the run up to next month’s UK General Election.
Drenge have been on a voter sign up drive, while Wolf Alice rallied their fans to “unite against the Tories”. Now, expanding on that previous statement, Elliw Rowsell has pushed things a step further.
Tweeting a lengthy screengrab, Ellie asked fans to “leave your reservations on the Labour Party, on Corbyn, on the British political voting system behind for the next month”.
“I have come back from America knowing two things for sure,” she contines. “1. that we have made a great album lol and 2. that private healthcare is the most shameful, terrifying and heartless thing.
“I don’t want to live in a country run by people who don’t agree with that. A vote for the conservatives is a vote to sign away our NHS (and all our other public services for that matter) to rich corporate billionaires who quite frankly don’t give a shit about you or anyone else except themselves.”

Nice work, bands.
