If you’re looking for something that roars with righteous fury while still making you want to dance, look no further than Beldon Haigh’s scorching single “Dumpster Fire.” Re-released just in time for both the Fringe Festival and the Fourth of July, this song is a perfect storm of protest, performance, and pure rock energy.
Everything about this track screams urgency—from the blazing guitars to the whip-smart lyrics. There’s a theatrical edge to the whole thing, fitting for a band about to take the Edinburgh Fringe by storm with Dystopia: The Rock Opera. You can feel the drama pulsing in every beat, with Justin Skelton’s vocals delivering both despair and defiance in equal measure.
The video that accompanies the re-release is an absolute visual gut-punch. Symbolism runs rampant, but it never feels forced. Instead, it’s artistic anarchy with a purpose. Watching books burn and icons fall while Fiona Lynch harmonises with fury? It’s chilling—and utterly unforgettable.
Beldon Haigh knows exactly what they’re doing. They’re not just making noise, they’re making a statement. By dropping Dumpster Fire on America’s birthday, they throw a cheeky yet serious spotlight on what “freedom” means when truth is under siege. It’s smart, it’s bold, and it’s very, very fun.
In short: this song slaps. Hard. It’s got the soul of punk, the brains of theatre, and the swagger of a band at the top of their game. If Dumpster Fire is the warning shot, then Dystopia: The Rock Opera is the full-scale revolution. Count me in.
