This song was inspired by the Angola Three, Black revolutionaries who were held in solitary confinement for more than 40 years while imprisoned at Louisiana State Penitentiary (also known as Angola Prison). -- The New Orleans band said, “Despite the sadistic torture they endured, they continued their fight towards Black liberation behind the prison walls. This song bears witness to our wonder and desire to dismantle the oppressive systems that hinder our possibilities towards true liberation, to annihilate, to destroy and to rebuild with one another. It’s a battle cry for dreamers who persist in spite of and because. This song moves us and it grooves us towards this end, may we go forward but not by ourselves.” -- See the official video for "Herman's House": www.youtube.com

Hale posted the password and a link to the album stream on the music news website Punknews.org, and the album soon spread onto peer-to-peer networks after the streaming audio was converted into MP3 format. dillingerfour.bandcamp.com

New stuff! Melbourne punk rock band CIVIC have announced their second studio album, "Taken By Force", and this is the lead single! Llead vocalist Jim McCullogh explained that the song was written about a trip he took through Europe in his early 20s. “I wrote that song about… the anxiety of realising I had no one to protect me but myself,” he said. “It’s about the realisation of your own mortality, and finding peace in a chaotic moment that you have no control over.” www.nme.com
