Checking off a critical bucket list item: Colonial Outcasts officially coronates its alliance with Irish resistance against colonialism and imperialism via an unapologetic scattershot harangue with Jake, lead the singer of The Shan Vans, a Belfast-based Irish-language rock band blending high-energy sound with a radical political message. Rooted in anti-imperialism and Irish resistance, their music champions decolonization, cultural revival, and international solidarity.
Released last month, their third and latest single The Shan Van, a powerful anti-genocide anthem, forms the centerpiece of Unite Against Genocide, their Ireland-Palestine solidarity project which involved over 100 artists and contributors worldwide.
Jake draws on themes of resistance, decolonization, and cultural memory, influenced by his upbringing in the early OOs in one of the most politically active communities in Ireland, Ballymurphy. Singing in Irish, Jake blends personal and political narratives, often weaving together themes of decolonization, Irish mythology, radical poetry, and contemporary global struggles.
