“Isolated, divided, secluded, deprived of the real dimension of the social bound. A state of emergency that intensified its control on the bodies, scared for our lives, consumed by our own selfishness, forgetting whom was already excluded and living at the fringe of our cities. Reboot System – Rebound Collective is a collective artistic experience that aimed to create a bound that could pass through all the underground Italian music scene. It’s a collective effort, because we do not understand creativity as tools to realize something profitable but as a device through which marginalized subjects can speak out-loud.”

The Italian hardcore band STORM{O} have been busy during the global lockdowns to find a way to help the ones in need. Today, on June 29th , they are releasing a collection of remixes that other artists have made of the band’s songs; the new remix record is called REBOOT SYSTEM – REBOUND COLLECTIVE.
“The aim of REBOOT SYSTEM – REBOUND COLLECTIVE is to give voice to whom is too often ignored by the dominant discourse, to all those subjects that are constantly discriminated and subjugated,” the band says. “We took what we have created in the last few years, fragmented it and asked people to reassemble the pieces creating something new. We chose 10 songs out of the 40 we received back, trying to highlight how we can all together smash the structure we’re used to living in and build something else. We’re now self-releasing this collection of remixes both physically and digitally and all proceeds will be donated to Nessuna da Sola and their campaign in support of sex workers. We’re dedicating REBOOT SYSTEM – REBOUND COLLECTIVE to Nessuna da Sola because we think we all need to use our privilege to give voice to the excluded, to fight injustice; to question the vertical structure of society and to make it collapse.”
All the proceeds of REBOOT SYSTEM – REBOUND COLLECTIVE will be donated to Nessuna da Sola, an Italian organisation that supports sex workers. Link here: https://stormo.bandcamp.com
“Rebooting system means strengthening all those communities heavily oppressed by structural violence; ending sexism, racism, homotransphobia and discrimination,” STORM{O} says. “Rebounding collective means we all need to do our part in this, to stop acting selfishly and collectively build up the world we wanna live in on the ashes of this one.”
