“Are we allowed to reject the crumbs that are being offered to us by the ruling elite, and demand they do something more with their power?” Listen to Pinkshift’s vital new single…
Following a busy few months including crossing the pond and ruling at Download Festival, and supporting The Gaslight Anthem in North America, Pinkshift have just unleashed a mega new single.
Entitled ONE NATION, the song arrives at an important time in the Baltimore band’s country, and in a statement detailing the meaning behind the track, they stress that “now we have to vote – because this is how we use our voice – and every option is not good enough”.
The full comment from Pinkshift reads: “It’s difficult to watch the suffering of all who are oppressed and disenfranchised by imperialism, alongside the repression of free speech and our right to protest in the U.S. Many of us watch, feeling powerless, while billions of our tax dollars are unconditionally promised to war and destruction.
“They’re gunning for a war. And now we have to vote – because this is how we use our voice – and every option is not good enough, full of empty promises and celebrity appeal. Are we allowed to rejoice and rage with our community, speaking to the suffering we witness? Are we allowed to reject the crumbs that are being offered to us by the ruling elite, and demand they do something more with their power? The answer is that we must, and our generation knows it.”
