Kneecap Drop ‘No Comment’ Single, Drum & Bass Anthem About Rapper Mo Chara’s Tossed Terrorism Case

Kneecap's new single 'No Comment' responds to Mo Chara's terrorism charge dismissal and ongoing Crown Prosecution Service appeal, highlighting political policing claims.

  • On November 18, 2025, Kneecap released the single “No Comment,” which the Irish rap trio says responds to `getting harassed by the British state`.
  • Prosecutors charged Mo Chara, alleging he displayed a Hezbollah flag and chanted slogans, but a British judge dismissed the terrorism charge on procedural timing grounds.
  • The two-minute track blends drum-and-bass and features DJ/producer Sub Focus, debuted live at Wembley Arena on September 18 with Banksy cover art and a limited-edition vinyl B-side “Get Your Brits Out.”
  • Weeks after the court tossed the charge, the Crown Prosecution Service said it would appeal, and Kneecap called the move `political policing` on Instagram as industry figures urged removing them from bills and revoking visas.
  • Over the past year the band has repeatedly provoked discussion, courting controversy with `Free Palestine` messages and Coachella statements while releasing other singles earlier this year.
