He eats them alive
Louis Ottley is loud, and he wants everyone to know it. Like a hungry wolf, he sinks his teeth into themes of class struggle, mental health, and systemic injustice. Born in Birmingham and now based in Germany, Ottley joins forces with his cousin and producer David Elias Ehoulan to present a singular take on Britpunk: a potent fusion of rage and swagger.
A powerful new voice in protest music, Louis Ottley knows exactly how to channel his anger. The result is a blistering punk party with a mosh pit where everyone belongs. For Ottley, punk is a radically inclusive space. “Everything can be punk, and everyone can be punk.” Put that on a T-shirt. The urgency of his work makes this an unmissable addition to your festival schedule. He is the relentless rabble-rouser taking aim at capitalism, militarisation, and inequality. But left-wing posers should watch out—Louis Ottley eats them alive.
This performance is presented as part of the Excite exchange programme, a collaborative initiative by Popfabryk and Explore the North.
