[7] In October 2016, he released two new albums: Magic Bullets of Madness to Uplift the Grief Magnets and Past Pupil Stay Sane.
Lennon says he found himself in a "bind" because he hated the characters he wrote about on a previous album, Trauma Themes, Idiot Times, and that it was too pessimistic.
[citation needed] Lennon's work has been compared to Mark E. Smith and John Cooper Clarke for the "off-beat genius of his lyrics".
[9] Themes which have been explored in his music include childhood, poverty inequality, the Celtic Tiger, domestic violence, mental health, loneliness, the importance of self-love, recession, emigration, anti-Irish sentiment, environmentalism, racism, the 2014 Garda whistleblower scandal, the Lisa Smith case as well as wider societal issues affecting the border region, Dundalk and Ireland at large.
[12] Lennon performed at Rock Against Racism in Dundalk on 10 February 2018; an event organised by local artist and activist Sarah Jane Hopkins and supported by the Immigrant Council of Ireland.
