Track of the Week: A.B. Original “January 26” (2016)

Given the date, we thought it appropriate to showcase a track which sadly has as much relevance in 2021, as it did when first released in 2016. “January 26” by A.B. Original perfectly encapsulates the rage which we should all feel about the injustices perpetrated by white settlement, and the failure of our governments to seek out a treaty and more recently their refusal to enact the Uluru statement from the heart.

When the Prime Minister of this country, Scott Morrison, only last week responded to criticism of celebrating January 26 with the astonishing utterance that “it wasn’t a flash day for those on first fleet vessels either.”, then there is still much to do.
