June 18, 2018

Marci Phonix burst on to the scene in the early 2000s like a match to an oily rag in a glass bottle. Though he lay low for a few years, over the past year, he’s come roaring back. First with the incendiary single “RIOT,” and most recently the cutting social criticism of “Liberties,” Phonix is speaking up to a UK in the throes of deportation scandals, Brexit, and racist immigration policy.
