Louis Ottley is loud. And he wants everyone to know it. Like a hungry wolf, he throws himself into themes such as class struggle, mental health, and systemic critique. Born in Birmingham and based in Germany, Louis Ottley, alongside his cousin and producer David Elias Ehoulan, presents a unique take on Brit-punk: a symbiosis of anger and bravado.

This voice of a new generation of protest musicians has swag. He cleverly channels his anger, resulting in a solid punk party with room for everyone in the mosh pit. That is because Louis Ottley views punk as a radically inclusive space. "Everything can be punk, and everyone can be punk." You can put that on a T-shirt.
