In Brighton England, in 1990, a songwriter from Belfast recorded a version of Pharaoh House Crash. It was a year of heatwaves, raves and riots.
Pharaoh House Crash was also chosen as his artist name, because it echoed the three genres that inspired his music: reggae, house and punk. Debut single, Epic Dream - a song about global warming - came out in 1994 and the follow up, Backlash (written at the same time but released in 2020) included songs about misogyny, free speech, and domestic abuse. In a world that moves ever faster, Pharaoh House Crash believes in patience, perseverance and passion. And putting your music where your mouth is. "Hoyden To Harridan' was started 30 years ago, but it's theme remains prescient - a takedown of the engrained and often casual misogyny in society." (Robin Murray, Clash Music Magazine) |
