do you like punk music? 


do you IDENTIFY as a person of colour living in the "west"? 


are you a musician/band/artist interested in race, gender and radical politics? 



have you experienced either one, some or all of the traumas and tribulations of racism, violence against women, marginalisation of QTILBG, false-promised migration, involuntary immigration, refugee displacement, sexual violence, land theft, treaty breaches and struggle for indigenous rights, state regimes disguised as 'democracy', capitalism, islamophobia, had your family and tribe already or increasingly terminated through state controled eugenic policies, grew up not being able to access your native language and culture, induced by drugs, gang wars and alcoholicism, violation of human rights, abuse of child rights, subjected to the exotisation and objectification of the 'orient', suppressed from freedom of thought, speech and expression?


have you ever felt displaced / out of place in a predominantly white male machoist heterosexist scene? 


do you dream of sharing your music through organising, recording and touring around the world but find that you have to work triple hard to get your music noticed and even more challenging to get white folk-led labels, gig organisers or promoters to take your shit seriously?
