This is punk. It’s not 80’s punk, but it’s very punk. I like it.

Jeez... never thought anyone would ever put a cover of anarchy together having grown up with it but this is fucking marvellous ... theres def a bit of buzzcocks in there too... wonderful

[@realsinisterminister]

@@colinsmith8891 and a hint of DEVO I usually hate people covering the Pistols this guy tho..............fuckin hell he really gets it!

[@lowfatricemilk1860]

if you didn’t like this cover i hope you’re keeping the same energy for the punk sacrilege that is John Lydon in the 21st century . keep doing your thing genesis owusu ! you’re a visionary .

[@ProjectMATHEW]

Would like to pop in here as a fan of it all and say John Lydon made a solo album called Psychopath and was in a commercial for Country Life Butter! Keep the same energy 100% but realise that these are people who gotta put food on the table to, and they're still out here speaking ill of what they see is wrong. Mad respect. Trying hard to fight the urge to bite the hand that feeds my dreams on cities built on sand

[@mariagill5183]

Yea. A visionary "Twat ruining a classic"... Not my words but I so aggree. So don't come at me man.

[@sophonborrowedtime415]

Can you elaborate on why John Lyndon is punk sacrilege?

[@851852093114208513]

@@Walrus286 - Apart from being a marketing scam for a clothing store? I'm not usually in the business of saying what is and isn't "punk" because it's kinda stupid and gatekeepy, but well, nothing is less punk than upholding an oppressive status quo for the sake of the upper class via conservatism. Supporting Trump is the opposite of punk.

He is so so talented. Can’t wait to see him live in April!!

Lucky you! Where bouts is he playin?

This guy is like the lovechild of David Bowie and H.R. from Bad Brains. Fantastic cover.

[@ScottOrKaze]

Got to see Genesis and his brother perform together a few years ago and the energy is unreal, so excited to see him get bigger every year

[@_ArmIa]

Phenomenal. Just phenomenal. This has bigger punk energy than anything the Pistols put out even when Lydon wasn’t doing adverts for fucking anchor butter.

[@shaebryant1916]

It wasn’t anchor, and he did it to find a new album so🤷‍♂️

[@djywrites]

His album comes out next week, enjoy!

[@londonhasfallen7786]

@Tina McMillan Thank you! That song is on my Loner Mix now, he is really good! It is like spoken verse combined with indie rock. I feel he and the Gorillaz have kind of a similar vibe. Much love.
