WHEN fabled American satirist H. L. Mencken wrote "it doesn't take a majority to make a rebellion; it takes only a few determined leaders and a sound cause," little did he know a century later a bunch of upstarts from the depths of Yorkshire would make this their mantle. 

Allusondrugs, a trippy alternative musical beast of a band, are heading to Basingstoke's The Sanctuary later this month to show exactly why the "greedy sociopaths" in our country need to be stopped. Expect thrills, vibes and just a hint of irony from the North's favourite new sons.

"Drugs is a metaphor for any trivial rubbish that distracts the population from paying attention to important things that are happening in the world," Drey Pavlovic tells The Gazette. 

"The greedy sociopaths at the top of the mountain are feasting on our souls while we sit in a stupor of ignorance, watching X-Factor, easting nutrition-less, processed microwave sausage and mash, moaning about people from other countries "come over here taking our jobs". We as a society are basically mindless drug addicts that need to wake up."

Considering the adrenaline-fuelled power residing behind Allusondrugs, it's little surprise they're furious. New releases 'Good People' and 'Modem' mingle confidently among a strong setlist that includes 'I'm Your Man' and 'Cherry Pie'. It all matches.

It's a really mid-00s crossover - the enraged tones of The Subways meet the subtle sophistication of The Long Blondes. 

Their anarchic temper festers demoniacally at the crux of Allusondrugs.

There's a twentysomthing modern angst laced throughout and within the first clanking chord change an uprising commences. 

"We don't aim to sound angry," Pavlovic continues.

"But sometimes our lyrics can portray a certain anger that is present in the real world. We like our music to make you feel positive but thee is sometimes also a message of change prompted in our lyrics.

"We are good people and we want everyone around us to try and be good people too. If our music can help with personal issues or inspire change in the world then we've gone above and beyond the initial goal - to create music that makes you feel good."

It's the outfit's first jaunt in Basingstoke as they team up with new local promotion company Alt Clan.

But for anyone unsure, Pavlovic promises "a lot of energy, positive vibes and a very interesting and unpredictable show". 

"We can guarantee you'll have a good time," Pavlovic added.

"If anyone who comes to the show leaves feeling unhappy please let us know - We will personally refund you." 

Allusondrugs visit The Sanctuary on Sunday November 20.
