Graham Sayle - "With the backdrop of a decade of austerity and neglect, ‘0151’ is a song about the power of collective identity. Written after my uncle passed away during the pandemic, the song was inspired by tales of life as a Ship Builder and the subsequent decline of the industry in the North of England; a song about the landscape and communities from my formative years and our current socio-economic situation.”
Rob Moss - “Liverpool is a city familiar with the receipt bad news. Old grief within the North West breeds in its most mild form an inherited scepticism of authority. A scalable requirement to be outwardly disruptive and inwardly sensitive. A low key connectivity built through regional endurance. For me the song is about struggle and resilience against policies of social and economic abandonment.”

"0151" lyrics:
This managed decline
Won’t be televised
Our days are numbered on the picket line
We’re destitute and we’re demoralised
Our suffering disguised as pride
If you won’t give it then we’ll fucking take it
Was told from early that we’ll never make it
That this is all you’ll ever be
You’ll live and die on the banks of the Mersey
Our suffering sold as pride
The memories plague your mind
The river is dragged and dried
Only the dirt is real
Ghosts of the docks and the factories
Are spectres of somebody’s history
The river runs everything out to sea
But we’re still here
From Canning Town to Birkenhead
The working class is as good as dead
If you won’t give it then we’ll fucking take it
Was told from early that we’ll never make it
Our suffering sold as pride
The memories plague your mind
The river is dragged and dried
Only the dirt is real
Ghosts of the docks and the factories
Are spectres of somebody’s history
The river runs everything out to sea
But we’re still here
Yeah we’re still here
