A representative single from the band's early days, a sharp satire of British society.
The song combines a fast-paced, punk-like beat with Paul Weller's signature sense of melody, creating a short yet tense and catchy track.
As the title suggests, this album focuses on distrust of "news" and the media, and its lyrics, which portray the social atmosphere from a satirical perspective, shine. The powerful guitar, tight rhythm, and sharp chorus work combine to simultaneously embody the street-style and political nature of British rock at the time.
