Manik Mistress kick the suits in the shins on Put Up Or Shut Up

Manik Mistress do not leave much mystery about where Put Up Or Shut Up is pointed. Released on 2 June, the Australian punk track is described as frustration with fat, self-serving suits and politicians, and that is exactly the kind of blunt target punk has always known how to handle. The song’s tags place it in punk, alternative rock, independent artist, indie punk and rock territory, but the real genre here is irritation with a riff attached. That can be a very useful thing. Punk does not always need to reinvent the wheel; sometimes it needs to say the obvious thing loudly enough that people stop pretending it is complicated. Put Up Or Shut Up sounds like a track built for that purpose: short fuse, clear target, no patience for polished excuses. In a culture drowning in professional messaging, there is still something refreshing about independent music that simply tells the powerful to stop talking and start answering.
