Protest music is not dead, it’s alive and well and a new volume has now been brought to you by Unitimidated: Wisconsin Musicians Against Scott Walker. This time the target is our pussy grabber in chief, the dangerous Teflon Don, and quite the soundtrack it is:
6 songs by 16 bands recorded at Howl Street Recordings in Milwaukee, WI from April 21-23, and 11 other songs contributed from anti-Trump musicians across the Midwest and elsewhere.
As with UNINTIMIDATED, each band that recorded at Howl Street had 2 hours to record their track to achieve maximum urgency. Once the two hours were up, it was time to clear out for the next band.
This is straight up protest music and it’s very good, I don’t just say this because I’m on it. (uid: 5761 by the way, 13 years…. wow), all proceeds to go Planned Parenthood and local (to the comp makers) Milwaukee Soup Kitchens, so consider this part of your next charitable donation and a good opportunity to support some stand up work and give yourself an excellent soundtrack to the resistance.
full disclosure: my band, Conan Neutron & the Secret Friends does have a track on here, but I would be just as excited and passionate about this incredible project if I was just a fan. It’s that great.
So if you are into DIY, Punk/Indie Rock, Protest music or just outright sticking a thumb in the eye of #45 consider clicking this link, and buying yourself a copy of the compilation in the digital format of your choosing ($10 or more), and spreading the word to others as well. It may just be a drop in the bucket, but enough drops make a flood.
Thank you.
