We are so excited to announce that Porch Collapse @porch.collapse has joined Punks Against Apartheid!
We have admired Porch Collapse from the moment we learned of their hardcore experimental noise fusion with radical politics with series like NOISE > DRONES & DRONE > DRONES. Their fundraising for Palestinian causes is impressive and something we hope to learn from as we start to work together.
In particular, we would like to use this opportunity to boost Porch Collapse’s most recent project, Noise 4 UAK (Noise for Um al-Kheir) @noise4uak ! PLEASE go give them a follow. In their words:
“We are people who make noise and challenge the systems we live under, subverting dominant paradigms in an empathetic and stateless noise community. We raise awareness, make noise and gather aid for those in need. We support the people of Um al-Kheir. The project was created and co-organized by porch collapse and Hanna Hazzan ( @sbnbd35mm ) with the intention of rolling out a sequence of fundraising endeavors and passing 100% of the proceeds to the community council in Um al-Kheir via local activists.”
We salute Porch Collapse for ‘bringing the noise’ to our growing collective. As punks, that’s our bread & butter! Because noise isn’t just a DISRUPTION of the status quo, it is the ‘main’s hum’ of the universe itself–that anarchic, ever-present, endless, life-giving cosmic vibration in which we live, move, and have our being. ‘Experimental’ noise is actually closer to our inner selves than the most perfectly constructed music theory, by its very nature!! And it is by tapping into that inner power–closer to us all than our jugular veins!–that we become radicalised. For isn’t that what ‘radical’ means, after all? *Going to the root of things* and *getting back in tune with its shape, its feel, its contours–its rhythm?
NOISE WILL CONQUER ALL, PALESTINE WILL WIN. SOLIDARITY!!
