My insides are full of rage right now at the racism and nazi behavior that seems to be infecting the world right now! What fucks my head up is how some of my fellow POC look the other way when white terrorism is right in front of them—it seems like they don’t want to lose their perceived social capital in the underground. It is dumb AF, because if you don’t stand for something, you truly fall for anything! As punks, it doesn’t matter the race you are, we are all supposed to say FUCK OFF AND DIE TO ALL NAZIS!
As I wrote the above words, I was blasting the new XIAO album Control that is coming out on May 2nd via Twelve Gauge Records — pre-orders live here. Throughout 14 punishing tracks, this band proves to the underground that they must be heard by any means necessary! Feel free to call them Powerviolence, but I choose to call them GNARLY AF! I’m super excited to share with y’all their new crushing single “In the Weeds” below. I want to say thank you to XIAO for creating radical soundscapes that make me feel like I’m not alone in my fight against all bootlickers, no matter the color!
