LW Politics & Music – Part 2: Cassie Agbehenu (Fight Rosa Fight!)

By Kris Smith The media regularly bemoan a lack of politics in music, compared to a mythic 60s/70s/80s ‘good old days’ – only to salute as an exception the occasional gobby indie-boy band trying to kick-start their career with some token rebellious rhetoric.
