Black Fist Raised High! My Letter of Solidarity to CLIQUE: ‘Communique’ + Visuals

Dear CLIQUE,

This is my letter of solidarity to let y’all know what your band means to me and to the underground as a whole! Straight up, y’all should know that your new EP Communique is beyond sick AF! This is a collection of Blistering Hardcore anthems to aim at our downpressors, and for that, you have my unyielding respect! As musicians, CLIQUE manifests tunes filled with righteous rage that speak for those who don’t have a voice! Big tunes like “Future Denied” make me know I’m not alone in seeing through the shit-stem that has fucked over our people for years.

Nothing but dark in sight Accept this worthless light? So we turn to horizons searching for newness looking for reason To live not just survive And the rain never came back So everything died No need to brace yourself for hell Because we’re already here Step careless across a bruised earth And there is no exit NO EXIT In the concrete and the dull glow of the walls that entomb you that try to define you and make you nothing NO EXIT

CLIQUE “Future Denied”

As POC, what I love about y’all is that you won’t dim your light, and for that, I have nothing but Mad Respect. Knowing when y’all tour as a band you are spreading a message that I can stand behind 100% makes me love your music even more. There is nothing fake about the way CLIQUE stands on business when it comes to those who want to do us mental or physical harm because of the color of our skin (no matter what color they themselves are)! How could I not ride for a band that has lyrics like the ones below:

Who does the dirt in this prison you call life? The subvert The worker The child of no one The homeless The inmate The wild imprisoned The thinkers The peddler The maid of the greedy The soldier The migrant The voiceless and needy Who does the dirt in this prison you call life?

CLIQUE In This Prison You Call Life

When I hear the intro to songs like “Communique,” I can’t help but think about the apocalyptic world we are living in right now. Only a chosen few know that we fight behind the scenes to stop nazis trying to infiltrate the underground. Bands like CLIQUE give me the spiritual upliftment I need to never give up. I want this band to know that they are more than a band, they are a part of a movement that calls for creative direct action against the shit-stem. Don’t it twisted, CLIQUE is one of the heaviest bands doing right NOW! If you ever get a chance to see them live, you will see what I’m talking about! I raise my Black Fist in solidarity with CLIQUE!
