In Episode 45 of Bogan Intelligentsia, we sit down with MUDRAT — the explosive Australian artist delivering raw, confrontational, and cathartic music with a clear working-class edge and a cutting political message.
The conversation explores how all art is political, the contrast between their high-energy shows and Australia’s cultural wasteland, and the band’s journey from liberal views to class consciousness. MUDRAT breaks down how class defines modern Australian society, the growing impact on youth, wealth inequality, and the meaning behind their album Social Cohesion.
We discuss racism in the Australian DNA, national shame and ignorance, the links between Australian settler colonialism and Palestine, and how decades of foreign and domestic policy reflect brutality at home and abroad.
