Polite Bureaux
Bradford, the city of Culture, formed the broken-beat-maker Joe Smith, also known as Polite Bureaux. Fusing bass lines and beats with alt-electronic production, Smith has ears to the ground across the UK, eagerly awaiting the next Polite Bureaux release. Dyslexic Smith attributes his words to the diabolical truths of John Cooper Clarke. Born in the big city of London with a family history of Irish and Filipino Malay roots, Smith’s youth was spent much across the country than a constant in one place. Strong family unity is what elevates Polite Bureaux from the crowd, with words that hit home and stand out as most ordinary in today’s world. Championing his youngster from the sidelines is wordsmith and poet, Robert. Smith’s father plays a significant role in the lyricism of Polite Bureaux as his poetry is used as power, to pride and break stigma through the performance of music. Expect brutal honesty and a true energy in his venting on stage and in your ears. It’s always more than just a play on words.
