Thank you for your continued support of the music and the legacy.
Thrilled to be presenting this unique remix of ‘Prayer for Peace’ on Earth Day! 🌎🕊️
.
A song which is so relevant and close to my heart. This new single version of the amazing Daybreakers Remix is made super special by the inclusion of Poly Styrene’s heavenly vocals 💎, thanks to the brilliance of Mr John Disco 🪩 of bis, taken from the first charming, home video recording of the song we made when we were living together in the Krishna Community in the early 1980s. I hope you like it too🕯️🕉️
.
Massives to @kavikarnapurabuckley 🎬 and @royscintei 🎥 who have dreamed up a simply wonderful video for the occasion 🙏, which will be available on the Essential Logic YouTube channel at 5pm (GMT) and to @handsprings for the awesome single art 🖼️ 💐, which is available to stream wherever you get your music: httpsgg://cargo-independent.ffm.to/c7iuizdggg + 🔗 🌳 in Bio 💚🎷

Dear friends and fellow travellers,
As we move deeper into 2026 and the 50th anniversary of Poly Styrene’s first solo single release, we are thrilled to invite you to the official digital home for the Poly Styrene Archive.
This Saturday, we are launching our Official Bandcamp Page.
To mark the occasion, I wanted to share something special with you. From the album Flower Aeroplane, the track “Atomic Rainbow” will be available for free (or “pay-what-you-want” if you’d like to support the Archive’s preservation work) for a limited time.
polystyrene.bandcamp.com
The link is currently a ‘Coming Soon’ page, but bookmark it now—everything goes live this Saturday morning. Why Bandcamp? We’ve chosen Bandcamp as the primary hub for our Poly Styrene and special X-Ray Spex digital and physical rarities. It allows us to speak directly to you, the community that keeps Poly’s spirit and music alive.
One Small Favour: When you go to download your copy of Atomic Rainbow this Saturday, please hit the “Follow” button on the page. By following us, you’ll be the first to know when we drop new archival releases and exclusive items from the Poly Styrene retrospective series.
Poly, @lora.logic and daughter @celestabella at @bhaktivedanta_manor . Poly became a Hare Krishna devotee in the early eighties. Her Hare Krishna name was Maharani.

Poly in New York, 1977. Can you spot the X-Ray Spex tee behind her? She designed all the merch herself. The logo is an early version.
