Say NO to Digital ID
SimonT is screaming that a digital ID could be our final act of freedom as we know it. It will allow our governments to move forward with their long term plan of creating a cashless society (CBDC) at which point they'll be able to track our carbon footprints and limit everyone to a daily allowance that if exceeded would go against our unique credit scores. Fines could be taken directly from bank accounts and if unpaid the ability to literally turn a person off will be within their power. It could potentially mean living in a dystopian future society where the ruling degenerate governments in place by way of corporate elect and their filthy rich benefactors impose a system that takes away all personal liberties from each and every average citizen but also puts everyone under the watch of Big Brother. It's the stuff we read at school that is meant to be fiction but could easily turn into a scary reality. Now is the turning point for that because if we people let the elite few get their way, there really is no going back and we will all become Winston Smith with a serial number to our names living like tracked animals instead of human beings who deserve to live in a just, democratic society.

The Lyrics
DIGITAL CONTROL
Somewhere out there, there’s a better place, so lets go there don’t ever say no way, nowhere there’s nothing to fear. Don’t ever be caught on camera, eventually a stuck insider, for data there’s none so clear, it’s all for control. Say no to digital control. Forever being stuck in silence, caught up in a global finance, deleted in your non compliance, they want you to know. Don’t ever be pushed to violence, or shat on by a ‘No Kings’ pilot, disappear into the highlands, there’s nothing to fear. No to digital control, no to digital control.

Protest Song
This is my first attempt at a protest song and because it’s something I feel so passionately about it turned around quickly… inspired, written and recorded in just a few days at Woodgrange, my home studio in London, UK.
I did all the vocals and instrumentation myself as well as the production and mixing. Available for free download on various popular platforms and for donations on BandCamp (all social links at bottom of page).
Rock Music
Dual Mono's music is a fusion of modern synthesizer pulses and electric guitar driven, melodic pop-rock. Complex looping plays a part too and combined with live drums and bass the overall sound is quite different to the norm. Hopefully you'll get it.


Music, Politics, Sport, Social Issues, etc
The ‘Say NO to Digital ID’ campaign inspired my song, Digital Control. News stations didn’t cover the last protest march and are unlikely to cover the next one unless we can turn a crowd of 2,000 into 5,000 people and bring London to a standstill by simply turning up on the day. If you so wish, follow the link below and buy some 'Say No To Digital ID' stickers and help get the message out there!
The next PEACEFUL PROTEST march takes place at 1pm on the 22nd November 2025 Marble Arch, London
