The SMC are a Kildare duo of Stephen Fahey (Super Extra Bonus Party) and Poggy (No Monster Club/We Are Losers) who released a spiky punk EP called A Shock for Jimmy.
The EP highlight ‘Got Let Go’ a howl of trashy musical frustration about the plights of working for a living, especially when that work comes to halt due to redundancy.
A video for the song has just been released written and directed by Jamie Delaney, with Albert Hooi on DoP, and features the duo having an accidental reverse van incident.
