Glasgow-based band Speak Easy Circus is gearing up for the release of their latest single, “Gros Michel,” slated to drop on Friday, 21st July. At first glance, the song might seem like an ode to bananas, but it goes much deeper, shedding light on the exploitative practices within the banana industry and our complicity in it.
