Episode 53 - Marching Music
This week Janie, Bri, and Ursula focus on black artists and bands with black members in support of the Black Lives Matter and Justice for George Floyd protests. From proto-punk classics like Detroit's Death and Pure Hell, to early-2000s PDX locals such as New Bloods, to some newer post-punk and hardcore releases by bands like Mass Arrest and Shopping.
Like Janie mentioned in the broadcast, here are some organizations to get you started if you need ideas on where to donate funds:
