Artist picture
Hard-hitting folk, rock, jazz and punk influenced acoustic music from the front-lines of the class war and the struggle for social justice, equity and direct de
is an artist-owned-and-run collective of radical songwriters and musicians who are making folk a threat again! We are: - folked up jazzy riot-folk fury from st. louis! - agressive folk from the front lines outta boston - throws down. insanely eloquent in-your-face folk-punk from CT. - phenomenal songs of uprising, resistance and revolution originally from Baltimore - ethereal poetical and political songs from San Fransisco - hard-hitting and earthy radical folk from Maine & Oregon - old-timey and refreshingly clever anarchist folk from NYC We seek to operate as a collective in a manner that is in-keeping with our analysis of the world and adhering to the principles of anti-oppression, resistance and liberation, mutual aid, direct democracy, community and struggle. We support the struggles of all those who have been oppressed against their oppressors: oppressed genders, races, classes, the indigenous, and the earth itself. We seek to make partnerships of mutual aid with other radical groups to help spread the music and the message of the movement. We don't just write about the movement, we're part of it!

Lyrics
rivers rise against the flood walls of defeat, as we try to open our eyes and stay awake and run from sleep. but it's kinda hard when the nation's cradling us in their womb of the flood walls that keep us wondering "what's out of view?" hands raised, voices sang, into the fenced in doors. rivers rising even faster, to defeat the shores. not the sounds of our voices keeping waters high but to know the ones at stake are the ones, well they can't hear their cries. rivers rise against the flood walls of defeat and it's getting harder everyday just to run from sleep, cuz the words of our nation are lulling my fears. its so much easier to kill, anywhere but here. just the thought of the pain, so easily avoided. just my conscience setting in, too bad it's been exploited. just the words telling me, it's in my name that they'll die at all just the rivers rising, cold blood is made for flood walls.
