SONG PICK: Kassassin Street – Hand In My Pocket
The relentless beats and soothing synths in “Hand In My Pocket”, the new single by Kassassin Street, would hint an easy happy dance song if it wasn’t for the overall urgent vibe, almost aggressively pushing forward. When the highly addictive chorus kicks in and the five from Portsmouth repeatedly ask “Would you stand for me?”, we start to truly listen and reflect together on social injustice in a UK society under austerity. “My Hand In My Pocket” is our Song Pick of the Day and another brilliant track by Kassassin Street, following last year’s hit-singles “To Be Young” (a former song pick) and “Radio Silence”, once again emphasizing their massive talent.
