Add in the soul searching that came with the COVID pandemic and Black Lives Matter movement, and the band&#8217;s collective disgust at the rise of Conservative politicians such as Donald Trump and Boris Johnson, and he took on a new understanding of his place in the world as a privileged white male.<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"v1wordsection1\" style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"><i><span lang=\"EN-US\">&#8220;My whole consciousness changed.

I&#8217;m going to talk about the fact that I don&#8217;t want a future where white supremacy reigns supreme, especially with my bi-racial children.

Elsewhere, Toogood takes aim at conservative talk radio, the legitimization of racism, and the radicalization of a generation fueled by misinformation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"v1wordsection1\" style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Such vitriol would amount to nothing were it not backed by the sonic apocalypse created by Toogood, drummer\u00a0<b>Tom Larkin<\/b>, guitarist\u00a0<b>Phil Knight<\/b>\u00a0and bassist\u00a0<b>Karl Kippenberger<\/b>.
